I know. It was iffy at first whether or not we'd be allowed, and we didn't really know up till deployment. As you said, holster were never an issue. Most of the truckers and maintainers still only use issue stuff, which suits them just fine. The beauty about NSE is that with every tour it's pretty much a brand new organization. My platoon commander goes to bat for us as well...so while we're under NSE, no LOG guy really knows what to say to a bunch of infantry guys as to what they should and shouldn't do.
