I got mine from a sewing shop in town...

Most craft shops will sell it, if not then it will be in the naffi.

yep you don't need the elastic!
i wasted so much money on stuff for basic - honestly most of it is a waste of time and money!
I just passed out from Pirbright most of the things I bought i put in the bin before I came home.

you used the elastic to sew onto your helmet cover to use a a make shift chin strap on your helmet when you have your respirator on, i definitely needed it when i was in training at Catterick, but i hear CBRN has since been pulled from the training programme

Not sure about being pulled completely Kc but it's in the latter stages of Phase 1. Not till week 13 if i recall correctly.

well i'm going to catterick in march, and i've had a load of paperwork which also includes what you will be doing from week's 1 to 26 there isnt anything about the CBRN on there - if it was still in the program wouldnt they say which week it was going to be
