Ah, Sound, no ironin board! Mate, are the first 3 numbers of your service number 300? or 301? I seem to be the only one with a 301 number, I wonder if its a mistake. I heard everyone has 300 now (apart from me . :x )

bungees are elastic things with metal hooks on end and twisters are similar but smaller but for your trousers.

I never when I went last time. As soon as I got into the block, I was issued a maroon jumper (not para reg obviously, had a nice bayonett on it) and some bottoms and got told to get into them. Then got into uniform when issued that. Never seen my civi clothes until after week 6 long weekend. There never was any need for one mate, so I personally wouldn't bother, but, your choice mucker! :D
