tunic under camo
How many of you lads wear your Fliegerbluse under your smock? I know it's also weather pending, but in general is it mainly thought as "you gotta do it" or mostly "you barely notice it, why bother, my service shirt is fine and if chilly then a sweater/jumper is better" ??

Re: tunic under camo
I do mainly Tropicals, but even when it's relatively hot, I still wear my shirt and tunic under the jumpsmock. I feel comfortable with it and the cotton material does not add up to the heat. Many from my group just wear the shirt on it's own.

Re: tunic under camo
i always wear mine, unless its the summer months when i tend to roll up my sleeves on my smock
Re: tunic under camo
When im battling ill ditch it.
Re: tunic under camo
Gerry Kaeppner ditched his fleiger in France. said it got in his way. so with that in mind i say its optional. I suspect that someone will find the rule book and say 'this is the correct way', but in the heat of battle anything goes.

Hmm...I guess so, especially when they roll up the sleeves.

Re: tunic under camo
I only have a trop uniform at the moment, but I generaly wear the lot under my smock, however I have seen pictures and read references to guys in esspecialy the med, simply wearing there smock with or without there shirt, even on drops, not tried it yet as the english weather isnt quite at that level but if it gets hot enough one event I may see what its like.

Re: tunic under camo
Bah cold and rain? soooooo?
Yeah most tropical uniform was just the shirt, as it was far to hot to wear a tunic in the desert.
