I've heard it all now.....
Last night we were informed that all soldiers in our regiment Corporal and below must return their webbing to TAC to store in a shiny plastic box as we are no longer required to keep our webbing at home...
Apparently this is because stores can't keep track of all the kits than been issued and struggles to get it back when people leave?????
However we are aloud to look after everything else???????????
WTF is about all I can say, maybe I can see some justification in having this rule for recruits, but Corporal and below???? WHY???
Apart from it being extremely primary school like treatment, I cant see where at my squadron they could store all these shiny boxes full of webbing, let alone in a secure area....Not only that if they are to be locked away unless there's a squadron activity on, I cant see any fecker having a key!!!!!!
