NO WAH!
Don't worry as a cadet I doubt they will send you, we are streched not over streched.
On a serious note if you did get away with doing it (which would probably be quite easy if you put the stuff in British desert DPM covers) you would have no come back (insurance and compensation) when you got shot/blew up and injured/killed. How do you know that the stuff you buy will be better? Will you test it? Also you must have a serious ammount of spare cash lying around, it is expensive stuff.

If you can find a better product that provides the same level of protection and documentation to prove it doubt bosses would object .Problem is it would be very exspensive and probably just as bulky
and heavy .There is buying comfy kit and then there is going over the top
and this in my opinion is beyond an indviduials level to fix.

There was a bloke in 1 RIRISH who had all sorts of privately purchased "additions" to his BA. Looked a bit odd if you ask me.

I'm too old to know what goes on now but the drive for personal protection can be a double-edged sword. I know of cases where guy was so fixated on on his living longer that he took his eye off the ball and was a sitting target. I also wonder if the "am I as safe as possible" attitude could not, in some way minor or more significantly, add to combat stress levels?

look, its pretty simple, body armour that we get issued works. it is not going to stop you getting injured/killed if you take 7.62 to the boat race but it does reduce the damage taken from shrapnel and some small arms. ultimately if you are really worried about being shot/killed dont join the army.cdt_l/cpl said:
armour works but the real life savers are good skills and drills on ALL levels- from CSM to Tom. and a lil bit of luck.

I can't see your RPAX paying out if your injured when wearing none issue kit.
If you do die while wearing, and your folks try and make a quick few (more) quid from it the MOD will more than likely feck them off at the high port.
"He was issued with the best armour money can buy, but chose to wear something else. If he was wearing our stuff he'd still be alive. Now go away."
Harsh but fair.

good one the link doesnt even work you muppet, so go and post in a thread that is relivant, i asked wether people are allowed to wear non issue body armour in the army and I DID NOT ASK people to post questionaries about some stupid paper their doing! To all the rest of you thank you very much for your comments and you have answered my question, once again thank you.
cdt_lcpl wind your neck in! Guys I think Chris has posted a thread elsewhere... where he explained himself and the project he's working on, all above board. Chris if you could provide a link it would be great.
Thanks Big un much appreciated!
cdt_lcpl hope you're not as quick to gob off when you get in and get to a unit!

ok yes, i have a quick temper, very sorry to chris and every other person i offended. And yes i do understand that MAYBE this 'chris' will one day design some bodyarmour that may save my life. But if he has posted the topic somewhere else shouldnt he have posted for people to answer questionaires on his thread that was relivant to his research.
