Hence why I think they forgot shine!

Probably judging by the state of their boots locally.

Oh, right, fieldcraft, yeah…

We have ACF staff on here, but it’s piqued my curiosity now.

Signature is another one. Thermal imaging etc. The uniform is meant to be designed to disrupt this.

Not specifically, it would come under “texture”.

It’s not taught from any cadet manual though.

Does it still include ‘shine’ in the prep section as something that needs a demo?

Hoping to catch up with my ACF contact later this week

Not explicitly, though a mess tin is mentioned for texture in the explain and demonstrate section.

Sounds like the same wording in the 2013 version.
