Regarding the above mentioned tacvest, we don't even have enough on base to ensure that soldiers posted into the unit each get one, we're down to sharing and cannibalizing from those who are in staff/HQ positions, long term medical restriction etc.
Persons who actively seek to acquire these kit items are fueling the market for black market goods, pieces of kit going walking from supply depots is an issue right now, and publically demonstrating an interest does not help the matter.
I urge any player here who counts themselves as patriotic and pro forces to not engage in the purchase or trade in non-surplussed CF issue kit. There are many alternative sources for similar items available; and for example the TV is a piece of crap, why would you want one?
Anyway, thanks for reading, cheers.

Hello, A few years go, i.e. the last time I played airsoft, A person I played with gave me a pair of pants and a jacket that are "cadpat", but I don't know if they are real or replica's. I'm wondering how I can figure out if they are real or not? and if they are real what I can do with them?
Furthermore, I don't think it's great to tell people that the Canadian military is "experiencing extreme shortages".
