In the Mo, at least, you‘re not supposed to get CADPAT or any other fancy kit like goretex until you‘re done QL3/DP1/whatever it‘s called this week. The reasoning behind this is that large numbers of recruits leave before they finish their QL3, but once they get the QL3 they are much more likely to stay. It‘s a waste to issue items of limited quantity to new recruits, a large precentage of which won‘t stay in for very long, especially when there are troops who have been in for longer and are still waiting.
