Issued Kit.

[Trev1]

I know at the min they issue the hi-tecs which recruits say are actually good and quite comfy, but Ive heard off that arrse website that the Army will be issuing the pt-03 trainers now. Does anyone know if this is true?

[SandyTheGuvnor]

All recruits at ITC now get issued 2 pairs of PT-03 1 outdoor and 1 indoor pair

[foshy]

so in that case sandy is there any point taking your own trainers?

When i was a recruit we were actively encouraged to get specialised running trainers, if you had a tendency to over pronate as you ran etc. otherwise we had to use what we were issued with as high street fashion trainers were a big NO - NO !

Foshy, your advised to take your own sports kit, Trainers, shorts & Tshirt because you'll be going on adventure weekends and your best of not taking your own issued kit.

Well i have pro running trainers that were hand picked by a foot person at running store cost 100 pound. shall i take them with me or? thanks guys

[foshy]

ok mate yea iv got all my sports kit ie trainers and all that ready to go and didnt think about the adventure training. nice one mate

[Trev1]

For the trainers I'm taking my normal ones there not running shoes or anything like that just some lacoste's kind of like fashion ones (not them gay pumps or anything) do they have to be running etc shoes? the PT-03 look like good training shoes so I was going to use them for all my PT not my own like.

[SandyTheGuvnor]

No need too check with recruiters etc this is straight from horses mouth

You will use the issued trainers for everything

They look pretty good. Cost about £70 to buy in the shops so they can't be that bad.
