We won't see the a2 for 5 years at least. That would be my guess. I don't even know if their finished testing it yet. Anyway, when you see the guys in A'stan have them, then maybe another 2 years until my unit gets them.

Tac Vests have already been handed out to all the regiments out east. All the logistics officers and cooks out east have had tac vests for a year now, while the infantry guys out west still wear the 82 pattern webbing. I can tell you that I probably need that tac vest a lot more than the guy who cooks my food does, but thats the way it goes in the Canadian Forces.

Short answer:

I haven't even heard roumers about reg force getting the a2, so I doubt we will be any time soon.

And if I had the choice between the C7A2 and the C8A1, i'd go with the C8 any day.
