Hey guys, anyone who saw my Airborne uniform at Matlock. Could you give me any pointers as to what they think I could do with. I've got most of the basic stuff I reckon but could do with the more subtle items of kit. Anybody got suggestions? (Down to the tiniest item e.g I'm getting a cricket after xmas and possibly some jump rope.)

It will help you look like a paratrooper rather than someones idea of what a paratrooper looked like.
