Random question....

Does anybody have a photo of the current service issue Bergen? Do we even get issued bergens anymore?

The last one I got issued (and still have) is a massive OG jobber thats really heavy, was debating swapping it in stores but not sure what you get these days...

Cheers!

Last one i got issued was a 30 litre Patrol Pack before i went on Herrick, ended up buying an MTP one down there as I couldn't get all me kit in it when i went outside the wire etc...

I think the 30ltr is the only 'bergen' you get these days and to be honest it's not much better than a day sack, although it does expand and you can attach the old jet sacks to the sides of it.

Is that still that horrible square thing?
 
I'm pretty sure most trades don't get issued with any bergan as such. If you go OOA then you may get an MTP day sack, albeit a large one. Other than that it's the big black bags. Best not try and swap it as you may loose it.

I assume you're talking about the All Arms Bergan or 'bowling bag'?

You won't get issued one of them now unless you're in the 'book' under the counter in Clothing Stores for a previous misdemeanour. :PDT_Xtremez_15:

CS95 PLCE DPM bergen or a gucci MTP one if you're off somewhere hot, sandy & with lead in the air.
 
Downsizer,

If it's still in good nick don't swap it, the Infantry bergen you have in OG is the same as the DPM version apart from the colour @120ltrs with the side pockets attached. If you're off to Afg then you will get the 45ltr MTP daysac, awesome bit of kit. I still use my Inf Bergen over the black bag as its the little bit more versatile.

Though you'ld be lucky if stores exchanged you bergen for anything.
