From my time in the RAF, what I remember is the RAF Regiment always seeming to try and distance themselves from the rest of the RAF. Always (unjustifiably in my view) considered themselves to be some sort of elite, both above the RAF as a whole and also other units of the British military.
Assuming from your un you might have connections to the kipper fleet (as do I) I can only say...
"pot calling kettle, send colour state over"
