Getting gear

[LegoXman7]

Hello,
I am planning on going to winter encampment, and I was wondering if there is a specific Camelbak that I need, or if it just has to be at least X amount of water? I found a black 100oz pouch for $38 and a tan 100oz for $28, and I was wondering if one of these would be okay. I was also wondering If there is anything I should know about encampment?(that I should get there early, that it is t what I'm expecting, etc) AND I was ALSO wondering if my old weather BDU jacket would substitute for the "gortex jacket"?
Thanks,
C/AB Jay Nulph, jr
FLWG composite squadron.
(Also, is that /\ correct?)

This really is a question for your leadership to answer. However, either Camelback will be sufficient. You are able to wear either the BDU coat or the Gore-Tex parka, but the BDU coat must have all the patches, like name, Civil Air Patrol tape, wing patch (if mandatory), and grade insignia.

Ok, thanks!

Any hydration system (e.g. CamelBak) will work, although black is preferable to tan. That said, I wouldn't spend that much money on one for your first encampment. You may be able to find better deals online or at a local military surplus store.

In Florida Wing (FLWG), the wing patch is not mandatory, so if you wear a field jacket you only need your name tape, Civil Air Patrol tape and metal grade insignia.

Finally, FLWG is the abbreviation for Florida Wing. Assuming that your correct unit charter number if SER-FL-116, then the name of your unit is Seminole Composite Squadron.

Yes, I didn't know of I should put Seminole, but I will do that. Thanks for the info!
