Updated Army Service Dress project

[OldSolduer]

As someone not of the green persuasion:

I can maybe understand in the 2nd pic with the OTW shirt. However, since CADPAT shirts aren’t normally tucked in, you don’t see it most of the time.

…and no, I am not advocating tucking in CADPAT shirts.

green guy here and I have the same question. Why? And now watch the big bellied ones start to dress like that.

They seem to be usually worn with CADPAT.

So this belt is purchased by the member?

Appears to be the Army version of the RCAF ballcap.

People not working in offices often take off their CADPAT shirts, so if you have that sort of job...

Or you work in an office where RP Ops hasn't turned the heat off in June...

So this belt is purchased by the member?

Yes, entirely optional. Like the RCAF leather jacket, just much less expensive...

I'm not army, and have never been, but I get them. It's a relatively inexpensive way to show some regiment/corps pride... much like unit shirts people wear beneath their CADPAT/flight suit/coveralls at some Squadrons.

There is a very good reason for that.

The owners are both military and have other obligations holding up the side hustle....

Would that not be a conflict of interest? Just wondering

I can't see how, it's no different than making shadow boxes, knives, etc..

Not in the least. The products they make are for private sale, are not "mandated uniform items" and do not constitute any agreement with the Crown to provide said items. They also gain approval and permission from DHH for any IP the Crown owns to avoid copyright violations. I have known the owner since we were teenagers, they're very much not the kind to avoid doing the necessary homework...

Kinda like when I repair personal computers on my free time to members. So long as I'm not utilizing the Crown's tools, programs, software, or other property to make extra cash; I'm free to do so.

The fact that my training and experience was gained through the CAF.... that's just good entrepreneurship....

They can be repaired? Huh, learn something new everyday.

I have one of their belts, and had a run made for my Regiment. It took a significant base order in order to get the webbing made, but they came through for us and they ended up being worn by the most senior ranks of the Regiment.

I think it involves this:

Until someone complains.

I'm a firearms instructor for my agency. I also work at a local not-for-profit gun club as the training co-ordinator. About 5 years ago I had a sit-down with my supervisor to talk about a potential conflict of interest as it was reported that I was teaching snippets of "our program" at my club. Once I explained that my agency didn't teach me how to shoot, but only how to deliver "our program" and that I have taken several training courses off-the-clock and out-of-pocket and that the techniques (not tactics) I was teaching are the CSSA cirriculum and universal throughout the sport shooting world, the problem was solved. But I, and a couple of others, still had to have "the talk" with our boss because someone complained.

What?!? That’s like someone wearing non-issue skivvies…or none at all!

Kilts to be worn in alignment with personal preference... is that what you're suggesting?

Wasn't complaining. Just an FYI

I'm not sure what you mean by personal preference, there is only one way to wear a kilt.
