Unless they changed in the last couple years AICS are not RCMP issue. Not saying that's not what they are carrying but not approved issue .

No , as I said they may have switched in the last few years . I know they were looking at an equipment change . I actually used to be an Armourer for the RCMP. I will not say what their equipment consisted of as I swore an oath of secrecy.
Surprisingly enough we did use to confiscate non issue equipment from members that detachments or members purchased . Went into a 45 gallon drum when full sealed and taken to the foundry and melted down .

Under armour even makes clothing and gear for them with the RCMP badge on it . They even wear Hanwag hiking boots .

I would suggest you not assume that no off here but you knows anything about the armed Forces and Who trains with who.

I know of one locally, think they could use a little more training.

If it wasn't scary it would be funny.

Pentagon, I'm trying to understand the purpose of this thread?

Also, it would be nice to know what your previous user name was so we can put things into context.

Regards;
