    receive, free of cost, the kit of their rating, as laid down in appendices
    to these regulations.

Men enrolled in Class A will not receive free kit on entry. Men who
enrol in this class immediately on discharge from the seagoing forces
will be allowed to retain their service kit bags. All Class A ratings will
be issued with R.N.R. cap ribbon and R.N.R. badges on first appearance

    the kit is complete and in good order; except that when a man is permitted

    instead of a longer period every alternate year, credit of the allowance will
    not be made until the man joins for the second half of this divided period.

ARTICLE 51.--Cancel, and substitute:—

51. Class D : (a) The kit issued to a rating on first joining Class D

    circumstances, replacements will only be effected at the expense of the
    rating. Where, however, ratings have outgrown their uniform, free
    replacements may be made on the written authority of the Commanding
    Officer. Whenever such action is necessary a report is to be forwarded
    to the Naval Secretary.

(b) Kit-upkeep allowance is not payable to ratings in Class D, except
when mobilized.

(c) Articles of kit issued from serviceable worn stocks at Headquarters,
instead of new articles, may be replaced on the written authority
of the Commanding Officer, if they become unserviceable due to fair
wear and tear.
