I start my basic in April and Im led to believe that new recruits are issued with MTP Im here hoping people can give me as much insight into how its worn is it untucked with or without a belt and if ironed is it the same as DPM with single creases down the front of trousers and middle of sleeves. When will the new issue boot be released and is there any talk on the style or color. I mainly want to know how the new kit is ironed because I may take some with me. Thanks in advance.

What an interesting query. I don't think it has been raised on here before. As far as I know, MTP is worn with sleeves rolled up and tucked in with a stable belt. Some units also choose to wear name tapes.

I hope this has been helpful.
All the best.

A few points, if this is not a very poor Wah.

1, You will be shown everything you need to know.
2, You will be get the new boot when you get the new boot.
3, Pre ironing kit is not as necessary with PCS or indeed CS95 as it was with Lightweights and shirts.
4, Get hold of extras from eBay (illegally as no PCS has been released) use them as exercise kit where ironing is not as critical.
5, Worry more about your phys than getting extra kit.

P.S. Don't bring the 100 odd issues of 'Raider' or 'Combat and Survival' you almost certainly have under your bed.

Next, people will be asking if it should be tucked in or not and wether sleaves should be up or down!

Typical sarcastic ARRSE response as expected, I thought my question was feasible but I was fully prepared for a helpful reply such as yours. We will skip your first three silly remarks and get to
4, I am getting extrat kit from serving friends prior to joining hence my question.
5, I'm not worrying about my fitness but realize its crucial to be at a high standard.

To conclude on your P.S comment I haven't heard of any of the listed magazine titles but shall keep an eye out for them thankyou.

P.S Your almost certainly a cunt.

Not even a spare set of combats and shirt?

Don't take extra kit as you have a set locker lay out and no room to keep your extra 15 sets of uniform, chally 2 cam net and spare chinook rotar blade.

No, for the love of god, take no uniform with you. They won't let you wear it and you'll probably pick up a nice insulting nickname into the bargain.

"Oh look, it's Ebay Uniform Cunt!"
