Hmm, that's one way way to whittle through a "3 pipe problem".

Removal of stem from bowl before stowage should prevent 99% of in-pocket breakages
News just in. Pre-embarkation, Monty will be visiting 3 Commando and will deliver moral-boosting words and best wishes. All troops to be present.
It seems 3 Commando had a penchant for wearing denim trousers for the D-Day action, apparently because they'd found on exercise that wool caused chafing if they had a wet landing then had to march any distance. Just though I'd lob that in the mix, should chaps have a selection of battledress trousers in their wardrobe.

Funnily enough, exactly what I was going to add today when I had a free time to post up!

So I've received my green beret, it has the two cap badge holes I don't want. My question is, is there a specific way round I should turn it to hide them?
My green beret turned up as well; luckily pristine.
Finally got an excuse to use this, as well. 
As an actual pipe smoker, I feel I should clear up any misconceptions:
Straight pipes are no easier or harder to clean, pipe cleaners go around bends.
As long as you don't leave a pipe in your pocket and stand on it whilst getting out of your tent in the morning, it shouldn't break.
Pay corp would use a straight pipe because they could spare a hand to stabilise it, a curved pipe is better at supporting itself as it will rest on the chin so would be better for a commando.
Officers should ideally use a straight pipe as this will ensure 1 less hand is free to accidentally do any work. Straight pipes are also superior for pointing at things.
NCO's may find that a curved pipe works best when prodding someone in the chest to make a point.
Bearing in mind the weather, are people mostly going wool BD or Denisons etc. ?

Wools for me
To stay historically accurate, BD for me. I thought I'd rock a nice commando jumper over the top of BD or just wool shirt.

Wools sound good to go then

Wools, but taking my denison just in case it suddenly gets to hot to handle.
But I'm 99% sure I won't use it though.
Looks like Wools for me too the .

Wool BD for me, also packed the picture of my gal and 1934 bush radio (blue tooth speaker as I bought the shell)
Loving the photo of your missus idea. I'm totally half inching that!
