Paean to the Vickers Gun

Don't you worry, we've canceled all the masturbating and going back to the old system. Pip pip bullshit.

I'm not to impressed about that. More money wasted by the government that could go towards shit the troops actually need, especially equipment the conventional guys need.
 
Oh trust me, you guys are different alright ;-)

But seriously they need to start issuing some decent bloody vests to you guys, I saw that issue abortion they give to the conventional guys. What a waste of thread and fabric.
 
Oh big time. There is something in the works right now to replace it but only time will tell when it will be issued to everyone. I'm glad that I finally hung mine up for good.
 
It's Sar' Major.

Any attempts to use Sir or Sarn't Major can go fuck itself.
 
I last saw a stable belt worn in 1996. It was also the first time I'd seen one worn. I did manage to track one down on ebay the other year. They should never have been removed from the dress manual, stable belt, sleeves rolled up, black boots and berets. All things that look good, all gone. Wankers.
 
I was very proud of my stable belt, beret and corps badge. That was what distinguished everyone apart. Why some commie loving fuck thought we should all look the same is beyond me, what happened to pride?

I'm not sure when they ditched them in NZ, they were still in use in '96 when I got out.
 
What's the go with the RNZIR one? Ours is scarlet and rifle green stripes.

This is the Regular/full time RNZIR stable belt, red is blood, green is grass. Blood on grass...

The Territorial units in the RNZIR had different belts though, not 100% on those but I know for sure that some are/were from affiliated regiments in the UK.
