Your CSgt will be mystified as to how you manage to get on show parade spick and span, thirty minutes after crawling off Barrossa but - being Guards - he'll never work it out.... (mine didn't).

From reading various threads and such, I have come to realise you need to buy an awful lot of things for RMAS. Some things are relativly cheap, such as polish, cleaning kit, polish, toothbrush and more polish.
However, there seem to be alot of expensive items, like a suit, semi- formal gear, canoe bags, irons, ironing boards etc... How are the guys who aren't as well off as some of the guys who go to RMAS supposed to afford all this?
PS- I might be all wrong about the reams of expensive kit and this is probably a question with the answer- "You don't have to buy all that sh1t!"
-PAN

From some of the piccies I have seen, there are some seriously bone suits doing the rounds at RMAS. Shiny and everything...bleurggh. As long as you make the effort you should be able to make do with a cheapo, at least until you can get something better.
