I agree with you 110%. The CF sweater is another good one. All it seems to do is sit in my closet and collect dust.

Well, as I said at the time, come over for a visit, I've still got some time left here. And don't think that ICE isn't/wasn't appreciated both in Merry Olde England (and the rest of the island) and in sunny but frickin freezing Helmand.

Vern, I loved those freaking fur hats, I watched a Van Doo officer also get clubbed unconscious in a smoking area. He was wearing the damned thing with the felt flap unfastened at the bottom and was wearing one of those fancy metal Beaver badges, you could almost hear the thudding sounds every time the wind caught it
Does anyone actually remember wearing the Elmer Fudd hat for work dress?

The Elmer Fudd hat was actually useful, stupid looking, but useful. Wore it (with flaps down) during a particularly harsh winter in Borden while on my TQ3 course (when dinosaurs ruled the earth). It probably prevented many cases of frostbite to the ears of students marching to and from the school. The "Hat, Fur, Stupid", on the other hand, was useless except as a tea cozy.

"Does anyone actually remember wearing the Elmer Fudd hat for work dress? "

Worst kit....the garratrooper dress ensemble....collosal waste of money. I still have the boots

The MLVW is actually a pretty solid piece of kit, although when it first entered the system there were all sorts of problems that shouldn't have existed, like the radiator mount that was too weak, and the cab mounting bolts that were totally inadequate. I remember that problem rearing up again later too. As for the nifty garrison dress, belts will be worn, then belts off, because it worn out the nylon, But it did make the folks in Ottawa look butch. The boots are actually great for motor biking.

The MLVW was a bastard redesign of a old design, done by people that should have stuck to building golf carts and snowmobiles. The engine was an improvement for sure. While the Deuce suffered from some issues, most notably the engine power, I always felt it was far better thought out for it's time than the MLVW was for it's time.

Exactly what my mum used it for, complete with capbadge. Lasted her about 12 years, as I recall.

That one made absolutely no sense; our combats were plain jane green and should have gone over to camo years earlier, but instead we got a garrison work dress jacket that was camo, with highly shined clown boots. Id like to know who invented that get-up...

Included the inevitable kit list to be carried in said vest that completely forgot about the need to carry ammunition. Wasn't it made of the same material as the old Combat Jean jacket?
LOL....ah the Penguin and the FBV....I think I have a pic of that somewhere, I know it was in the Patrician...lol
How are you Steve?
