Lone_Bullet Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I *think* we're in a cultural crash here. In Europe we are living with a lot more people per square Km than in the States. Help gets faster to you in most parts of the EU. I believe there's still a large ' you can only count on yourself' philosophy in the States. That might explain the reaction. Aussies might have the same feeling. Completely justified then of course. /Off topic. Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I wonder if only in my country one must pass a first aid course in order to get a driving license and every car must be equipped with a first aid kit... (Neo-Socialist Hungary of Orbanisthan.) Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 First aid yes, since every car sold must have them. But the lessons.. No, not in Belgium. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

SafetyKill Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 So, what's new with the rangers these days? I checked their facebook page but couldn't find any decent pictures of them in gear. I need an update on their gear. -MC with CB/tan gear or something like that -Still Mk18 or...? -Going with FMA maritime helmet with MC helmet cover? Link to post Share on other sites

Faire Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Are the RRVs still used as chest-rigs? In RG or other colours? Or is it too out-dated? Link to post Share on other sites
Gigueand Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 RRVs are no longer in use. Recent pictures show the use of Multicam Crye AVS plate carriers and multicam pouches. Some Rangers may still be wearing khaki Eagle MBAV plate carriers with multicam pouches, but this is probably becoming increasingly rare as newer equipment is adopted. Here are some photos from 2014 which should give you an idea of what kit is currently in use. A.

Faire Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Huh, AVS then? Good to know that MBAV is getting out of fashion. Thanks a lot! Link to post Share on other sites
Faire Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 As my AVS repro is coming in tomorrow I have put together a kit-list and would welcome critique and advice (those few items I already have are marked with *). I am aware that a lot of the stuff are obviously repros (budget and location constrictions), I plan on swapping less expansive parts of the kit in the long run (probably not the uniform, plate carrier, helmet).
