Hey guys,

What sort of thing should I wear for OPST tomorrow? The letter says no shorts which leaves me with little other options.

Any quick replies would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in a different Force, but surely they mean tracksuit bottoms/joggers?

More importantly, why no shorts? I wore a fancy pair of short shorts for my 2nd day of OST, and another lad had the shortist pair of rugby short shorts on I've ever seen - made my eyes water a bit.

I have no idea. I'm going to wear a pair of lightweight hiking trousers I think, or my trakkies, but I was just a bit confused by what they wanted/didn'twant us to wear. I mean, what's wrong with shorts?

I wore trackies and a t-shirt mate, however I'm sure there were people on the course in shorts...

I've got my refresher in a couple of weeks...

Yeah - trakies or joggers - looks like a chav convention in the hall anyway - so don't worry about it.

The no shorts things is due to using leg straps and other things that strap around your legs - unless you're a fan of your legs getting bitten into by nylon and velcro i'd suggest you wear trousers...

Plus - if you wear shorts, when they do the search training it sort of limits the places you can secrete things on yourself

plus your balls might fall out when doing the tackles
