Reserve initial kit issue ( merged )

[Relics]

Hi,

  I'm getting sworn into the GGFG in Ottawa as infantry, my question is; what does the reserve kit consist of? I'm picking it up tomorrow and I'm kind of curious. I'm assuming it's just CadPat and combat boots for now. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I'd like to say that my application went extremely fast and the recruiting NCO at the GGFG was extremely helpful, as was everybody in the recruiting center in Ottawa.


Changed title to "merged" - mm.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

You'll be getting all kinds of stuff. To much to carry home on the bus. Winter gear, field gear, CADPAT, lots of boots and shoes. Make sure you have a ride.

To summarize. Welcome to Army.ca.

 

[nsmedicman]

Just wondering where I can find a list of what kit I am entitled to as a PRes member.

 

[mysteriousmind]

Already ask...answer is hard to get...

 

[George Wallace]

I find it odd, after looking at your profile, that you are asking that question.  You should know enough by now that you can find out by going to your Clothing Stores and asking about your Clothing Docs and what your entitlement is.  They will confirm your Trade, Unit and Element, and tell you.

My gawd that message is old Geo.  ;D

And it's the CTS message updating the Land Force Field Equipment Table Scale which is applicable to all Regular Force personnel serving in CC2 Field positions. This message would also be applicable to any ResF "B" class personnel serving as augmentees in RegF establishments.

Most items are also applicable to Land Reserve Force personnel, but not all.

Monday, when I'm back to work I'll pull up an updated Field entitlement scale for ResF members employed within Reserve Force UICs.

Edited to add:

And the CANFORGEN has also just been released moving the Tac Vest Control & issue from the Unit QM to Clothing Stores. This means that all Tac Vests will be transferred from DND 638 temp Loan Cards that are currently held by Unit QMs to permanent issue to a members clothing docs. This is a good thing. It means you will no longer have to turn in your TV when posted or moved to a new Unit. Finally!!  ;D

 

[nsmedicman]

Thanks for the info.... ;D

 

[geo]

Vern,

Yes, I know, old message, but it was only thing I could come up with in a pinch......
On the overall, it covers pert much everything as of this date.

 

[nsmedicman]

Thanks Geo & Librarian for the help. I just received my new kit earlier this week. I know that I didn't receive everything that I should have. At least I can figure out what I have, and what I need to follow up on.

By the way Mr Wallace, with all due respect, I do understand what the process involves. Unfortunately I will not be around the garrison for the next couple of weeks, and thought that some of the more knowledgable and repected members of this forum could lend a hand in the meantime.

Sorry if I caught you on a bad day..... ;D

Finally! I was wondering when they would do this! Temporary issuing the Tac Vest was a pain in the butt for a PL to sort out.

 

[armyvern]

Well,

Those of us who've been in the CLS/CTS/DMMD WGs have been recommending it for awhile now. Looks like there may finally be enough stock in the system to implement. This is a good thing as it better serves the soldier and reduces the workload on your Unit QM shops, moving it to Clothing Stores where it should be.

 

[geo]

It was an interesting situation for personnel working in an area HQ

When I was in a unit, I had to turn in all sorts of pouches from my basic webbing set when they issued the vests.  When I transfered to the puzzle palace, I had to give back the vests.... so all of a sudden I have neither vest nor complete webbing... Grrr

Then they want us to do the 13 Km

 

[armyvern]

And that exactly was the problem with the set-up to the Unit QM control.

Unfortunately, it was also the only way that centre could ensure that those 1st line field QMs got the TV first. Now that there is stock in the system, it's been placed back into the 2nd line function. Much more effecient for the soldiers and a much needed reduction in workload for those employed at 1st line QMs.

 

[geo]

ayup!

 

[mysteriousmind]

I have question about kit issuing...possibly Vern will be able to help out.

for Pres member, when do we get the "other stuff" not issued being not "qualified"  (I'm BMQ qualified only) like:

- Gerber
- Wet weather boots (got only 2 pairs of Mark III when I was issued my stuff)
- The Patrol pack
- At least and other pair of gloves (I only got the cadpat gloves which are crappy to my opinion)
- Other fun stuff I should get that I am not aware of that I might get...

If some one is able to help me out I would appreciate, at the clothing store of the base they kind of shove me off telling me to come back when ill be trade qualified which should be at the end of august 2008.

Thanks

Vern will be able to help you out on this one.

 

[DEVES]

Well from other people I know , they issue all that other stuff after your SQ course. I dot kno why they dont issue this earlier My guess being so new they dont want to issue out to much stuff. The drop out rate is moderatly high so it just makes for a hassle when kit is being brought back.


For me I was lucky and they gave me everything. You shouldnt have to be trade qualified for gortex boots and a gerber an da patrol pack. Talk to your chain of command and tell them your probalem. They might be able to help you out. Every heard of telling a fib. Yes im trade qualified , yes I have my SQ etc.


Take Care and Good Luck.

I remeber my SQ , tons of kids without gortex boots and gerbers. Kinda sucks when your walking through a slew, or when you get asked for your gerber every two seconds.
