Is the FW jacket (seen it mentioned in some other thread) the same as the standard-issue Jeltex? I’ve heard it is an ‘optional purchase’ so it isn’t standard-issue - does that imply it is not the same as the Jeltex?
Is the FW jacket (if the answer is ‘no’ for [1]) available for purchase by NCOs in the CCF (RAF)?
Would be very grateful if someone could attach a photo of a FW jacket - sadly can’t find it either in AP1358C or on Google!
I actually don’t know - I believe you picture shows a Jeltex. I just don’t know if there is a difference between a FW jacket and a Jeltex. I know GP jackets are not for Cadets but I’ve also heard FW jackets can be “bought at personal expense”. Jeltex jackets are issued (with no personal expense) so are FW jackets different?
My colleague who has just passed OASC wasn’t given one, but then when he contacted the station and asked if he should have been issued one, they said yes so he went back for it.
