I remember when I joined years ago getting kit was like a jumble sale. We all had to scramble around this huge pile of kit on the floor. Trying different sizes on to find your size. The sizes aren’t like your civvie sizes. Don’t think “small” “large” “XL”, they are all NATO serial numbers. Once you think you had your size you had to line up in stores whilst an angry CQMS threw kit at you. Most blokes end up with kit too small or too big and spend the rest of the time trying to arrange exchanges. All fun fun in Depo.
