That's what I thought, seemed a bit strange that the army would issue two, on the training issue their kits issued VIA a bin bags.

This is probably a stupid question, but do we need to take hand washing powder or just normal clothes washing powder?
And would it be ok to wear jeans and a top when i go to catterick on sunday? Or would something smarter be better.

I would go out for something smarter personally, but as long as you don't look a scruff you should be all right.
