SURVEY RESULTS
Total # of respondents: 1
Question 1 comments received
* Yes - I do have ideas for a modernized version however using leftover material from old NCDs and purposely making them a roomier fit with pleated pants or something similar . This would allow members to work while wearing DEUs if required, because often enough a last minute tasking will be given when members are in No. 1s, and No. 1s are extremely difficult to work in if required.
Question 2 comments received
* Yes, but mainly for recruitment. Some already in might be displeased with the choice to replace uniforms before equipment. Others may not care enough that a new uniform would effect retention rates.
