I'll totally agree; but don't expect wind or water resistence from fleece.  If you're spending the money, put it into the outers; you'll be taking them off when performing tactile tasks like filling stoves, etc.

Just a little perspective from a "civie" on the outside......   I visited three recruiters, in three offices(nov25-dec5,2006), looking to enter as non-commissioned for infantry, but was encouraged to pursue Armoured Officer in each instance, via ROTP or CEOTP. Though I thought the "pay my dues"...

Note to self...... get abbreviation dictionary before BOTC......
