Underwear to RT

[adam.gaskell]

Hi,

I start RT on 27th November and i'm going through all my kit lists and have looked on here as well, but do I need to take alot of my own underwear or do they provide it for me?

ie. do i need to take socks and y-front or can you wear boxers, any specific colours etc.?

Thanks
Adam

Jesus, you must be joking!. CTC provide food, but they won't give you free pants.

Boxers all the way. I did not think they still made y-fronts, you must be joking about all the rest.

Like the wedge said, no they wont supply any. Take at least 5 pairs.

Our PTI advised us to buy the y-front type eventually though as during speed marches, and long yomps, boxer shorts will rub and cause discomfort.

COMMON SENSE.


Does the list say you should take toothpaste? Or a belt for your civvy kit? What about your wallet? If thats not on there, you really better not take it...

Not 100% sure yet mate. Waiting on an appointment with an orthopeadist who can refer me onto a specialist or get an MRI. Then when I'm 100% over my injury I can re-join. I'm thinking of re-joining, but not 100% certain yet as I gotta do it all over again from scratch (including prmc).

Come on, you know you're going to.

Bloody deserve it mate!

about the pants, i reckon since youre going to try to be a commando you may as well start off as you mean to go on- dont take any pants, where do you think phrase going commando comes from?!

Actually 'Spooky' the kit list does say take toothpaste, belt, money etc. And I got told other than the few pairs of civvy kit i'll be taking they'll supply the rest! Obviously Not!....Dick

Dick? Grow up.

Or just go ahead and call a member of your training team that when give you a little bit of a rough time for something you should have engaged your brain on.

Its so reassuring to know that their are people joining our armed forces are in a position of thinking being told something is common sense entitles them to call people names.

And attention to detail: Did I say money?

What was the point of the ' ' around your addressing me by the way 'Adam' ..?

[JCAP3]

Pointless argument lads.
