Carrier Driver's Uniform
Calling on all Carrier Driver's:
With the summer approaching and the various events that are going to be occurring, (in Canada celebrating our 150th) what should a properly attired Universal Carrier driver wear? (Obviously a BDU for the time of year and location) I am interested in how much of the P37 webbing would be worn, what would be in pockets and pouches and how would a driver be armed? (Realizing that there isn't much room between the steering wheel and the division wall) Pictures and/or comments would be helpful! Regards, Richard

I normally will just wear battle dress. Sometimes webbing but usually it just gets in the way.
This picture is of me last year while on a film shoot. The webbing layout worked well for getting in and out but I did find the holster got in the way a few times.

Uniforms
You don't have to wear much when driving a Universal Carrier, the key to wearing BD is that it has to fit properly and there is a certain way that when worn correctly it looks right. His is a LAC image that shows a typical carrier crew in NW Europe and an image that shows the prescribed way in which to properly wear BD. Take note of how the BD is 'bloused'.
