Talking to my physio guy, he ended up telling me that you don't need a chit to wear the magnums/swats. Depends on you're COC, if the guy on the top doesn't have a problem with it then you're good to go.
But then at the same time if some random pissy WO comes up to you and asks to see a chit, and you tell him "Well my boss let's me wear them" then I guess thing's aren't going to go to well for you.
Regarding new 'vests' for us, last I heard from the grapevine was that we were going to go back to a webbing based system. Something along the line's of the old style webbing, but with a fuck-tonne of new pouches so you can mix and match depending on what you're load out requires.
But seeing as how this entire organisation run's on rumors, well...take that as you see fit.
