P82 is issued in basic training and is used until said soldier has been posted to their unit after all their trade training.

Hmmm...Seems to me that I've seen various crse candidates on SQ and DP trg at LFCTA TC Meaford doing their thing wearing TVs only (?)

Or are my eyes deceiving me in that I'm seeing what I want to see?

SQ and DP are temp issue being a training base. I didn't get my TV issued till after i got posted to a unit which was 2 years after i joined the military

When my son did his BMQ in 2004 different people got issued different kit depending on their future trade.

Many of us know from years of service, that QM is much less energetic recovering kit these days. I probably have a full set of '82 webbing with extras, and a TacVest. No one wanted a one-for-one return when it came time to give me the vest, but I did have to return my Jean Jacket Vest of Many Pockets, body armour and ballistic plates.

On the other hand, I did get a call to return my extra barrack boxes ...
