    any particular reason you want to know? if you are getting deployed you get MTP and you wont be alowed to use it. If your on ex then theres the normal issued DPM.

    However, it was dark green 'dylon' dye

    It is a particularly vile shade of turquoise. Is Fadism colourblind? :)

    Knowing the story from the bloke who was the reason why it happened (He'd bought a temperate DPM UBACS Pre tour) the story is brills!
    They couldn't "fix" the dye (typically with cold water) so after taking their dyed shirts off the lads looked like the incredible hulk!
