Kit List?

[SandyTheGuvnor]

there'll only be 4 power points in the whole room

i am pretty sure theres more than 4 sockets in the new blocks


and there is no need to take swimming trunks as you will be wearing a nice pair of army issue blue shorts for swimming

For a brief moment I thought you were going to say because you don't need to wear any.

I typed it up from the kit list they give you before you join, I never added anything to it.

Is it a recent list for 2007/2008? Also is there anything else that should take? Thanks

Erm it's a kit list mate, what does it matter which year it was from

But to answer your question it was from 2007.

There reason I wanted to know was because more kit might have been added to the list at a different date. I thought that the army gave military sewing. If not does anyone know which one to go for. I was not sure if I should get this one:

I think I'm gonna fetch up!

Should I get some Zinc Oxid Tape? I've ordered the web tex kit for the sewing kit, boot kit and small first aid kit. Just wondering if there’s anything else that not on the list that people would recommend getting?

Thanks
