one of my sargeants said to me,when i went on exercise with him for the first time carrying just the basic issued kit

"any fool can rough it" he was right

he had kitted out our vehicle with beds,cooker,wash basin,heater,extra civvy rations etc.etc.
i chipped in some money for my share.
and every vehicle i had charge of after that i kitted it out myself.
