I'm a Marine mid at The Citadel, on our IDPA/IPSC team.
As part of my training, I've been issued deuce gear including an LBE, Flak and kevlar helmet.
From my civilian life playing airsoft I have a thigh rig and duty style pistol mag holders.
I understand that IPDA is intended as concealed carry (team uniform is mostly a matter of preference, variations on the theme of "BDUs with a pistol on the belt that holds up your pants, and the blouse as a cover garment"). As cadets, we aren't allowed to represent the school in civilian clothing.
I mainly do this stuff with an eye towards developing skills for active duty. I use a bone-stock Beretta right now, and don't own a civilian style holster--the holster part of my thigh rig can be put on a belt.
I seem to remember reading something about military and LEOs being allowed to shoot using duty gear, and even though it would be a disadvantage, I want to shoot the match this weekend in full gear if possible--flack/thigh rig and mags on my lbe in addition to canteens/rifle mag pouch etc.
Can I or can't I?
