The Evolution of Pharmacy Scales in the Czech Military
The evolution of pharmacy scales in the Czech military is closely tied to the broader development of pharmacy practice and education in the Czech Republic, as well as the specific needs and advancements within the military sector.
Early Developments
Pharmacy practice in the Czech lands has a long history, with the Czech Pharmaceutical Society (CzPS) being established in 1871. This society played a significant role in the professional development of pharmacists, including those in the military sector. The CzPS included a section dedicated to military pharmacists, indicating an organized approach to pharmaceutical services within the military from early on.
20th Century
During the 20th century, particularly under the Czechoslovak state, military pharmacy saw significant organizational and educational developments. The Czechoslovak Pharmaceutical Society, which included the CzPS, had a dedicated section for military pharmacists, reflecting the importance of specialized pharmaceutical services in the military context. This period also saw the establishment of specialized training institutes and officer schools, which included pharmaceutical education as part of their curriculum.
Post-1993 Developments
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, the newly formed Czech Republic continued to advance its military pharmacy services. The Czech Armed Forces have focused on modernizing their equipment and capabilities, which includes significant advancements in pharmaceutical services and technology. The CzPS has remained a cornerstone in supporting the professional development of pharmacists through continuing education and specialization programs. These programs are crucial in ensuring that military pharmacists stay abreast of the latest advancements and best practices in the field.
Modern Era
In the modern era, the Czech military has embraced technological advancements to enhance pharmaceutical services. The use of modern pharmacy scales, digital technologies, and sophisticated pharmaceutical management systems has become commonplace. These advancements ensure precise measurements, efficient drug distribution, and effective inventory management, all of which are critical in a military setting where accuracy and efficiency can be life-saving.
The evolution of pharmacy scales in the Czech military is a testament to the continuous development of pharmacy practice and education in the region. From the early days of the Czech Pharmaceutical Society to the modern advancements in technology and education, military pharmacists have played a crucial role in ensuring the health and readiness of the armed forces. This evolution highlights the importance of specialized training and the adoption of modern technologies in maintaining high standards of pharmaceutical care in the military.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
