That is some kit list, thanks. Very helpful for the non military types like myself.

Many thanks Team Player. I have probably forgotten a few essential items and this is a team effort and hopefully with all forum members we can get the full list up.

Ted, seriously I have no military background so this helps a lot. I'm still deciding whether to try and enter this world from my current police profession.

Working in Iraq.
According to our company, GPS is now a banned item and electrical goods can be taken off you at checkpoints.
Saying that i have all the electrical kit and so far havent had anything taken.

Yet,

Chris.

Thanks for the intel Chris.
If you have anything to add to the list please feel free. We need to make this "The" list. Very Happy

Think you ve got most of the base s covered Ted,

One important piece i carry with me is my A4 Nyrex which is left in the vehicle with all company sop s, maps ,client briefs etc.
Some guys just use folders but i find the Nyrex very handy for all the loose paperwork you end up having to carry as well,

Chris.
