    That's what they did. It was the only piece of 72 patt adopted, there was a few 72 kidney pouches knocking about (I had one) a 1 piece large pouch. But the rest was binned.

    No in total, if decontam was that important then we should have binned cotton webbing completely!

    Oh I see, yes your right they should've, however it was gash (72 Patt) the only really practical part was the Resi pouch.
    Also the TA were still using 37 patt at the time so going all "space age" with 72 patt would've upset the apple cart! And be seen as unnesecary expense.

    Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:

    They did - eventually. Hence PLCE is made of Nylon, rather than cotton.

    Strangely enough it has crossed my mind...

    I actually flogged the (rather battered) S6 resi on EBay to a nice man in Japan for US$25!


    I fucked your country and became very rich. What are you going to do about it?
