Electric shavers are 'frowned upon', as they don't give a close enough shave.

Combat trousers. And don't take an electric razor if you value your testicles - they'll make sure you wet-shave every day anyway.

Make sure you take a condom to put over your muzzle on your rifle when in the field. Your staff will be well impressed.

Don't you just use the plastic muzzle cap in your cleaning kit? Or is it not actually waterproof?

Well if it makes the task of ironing slightly more bearable, spending the extra will be worth it! Would have thought you'd have needed a heavy duty one mate to iron the size of your clothes anyway!! :lol:
