Blanco'd belts, with special metal tools with slots so that you could polish the buckles without getting polish on the webbing ?
I was in the RN section. We had several different uniforms for different occasions, each designated with a number. I can only remember "Number 8s", which meant overalls for messy jobs. Called "After Eights" by one wag.
Pull-throughs? We used to steal ammunition to cut open to extract the powder for bigger-scale experiments. It was the master in charge of rifle shooting who showed us that trick.
All good training for this day and age.
