Discuss RECCE jacket? in Military Clothing & Boots on The Army Rumour Service; Must've been for Warrant Officers as it's WAY to complex for use by H'officers or enlisted men ! Even 'Them' would be flummoxed trying to remember what was in which pocket in a firefight...

    B,ut do you salute the wearer of said item ?
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?

    I think you should as watchint them knock themselves out trying to salute back would be priceless !

    I've heard of the phrase "two boys fighting under a blanket" used to describe lovely chesticles but for this jacket "a sea of seething masses bobbing about" might better describe the effect this smock would send out !

    The "forget me not" smock.

    Try finding/remembering which pocket something important like your zippo is in. Hard enough to do with a normal smock and a pair of trousers with a thigh pocket.

    Surely with 19 pockets, it must be a proffesional walting jacket?

    There is an inevitable and undeniable logic to your statement !

    Its a ridiculously over-complicated, walts wet-dream. All its missing is loops for crossbow bolts.
    I bet it stinks of beer, fags, failure and mums cooking.
    Timing is everything. If you're early you're on time, if you're on time you're late and if you're late you're fuc*ed.

    Not in that fabric. It's some crap from a trial - and now an airsofter magnet.
