I’ve still got mine somewhere. Only time it ever got used was on TACEVAL. Did remind me of being stood down to home for crew rest mid-TACEVAL and popping in to my local on the way home (different times) completely forgetting that I had holster (complete with 9mm) under the DPM smock. Landlord did suggest I keep my jacket on, but I still got the pint.
