No, it is not. I am a civilian tax-payer. 4 generations RAF, I missed out [unfit] so did next best thing and joined Met. Office. According to the rules I have a dog in the fight.
No issues with Beards, ponytails or Tattoo's etc at all. They made up SAC(T) when J/T already existed. Air Specialist (Class 2), to replace LAC. TBH its very Americanised IMHO, I'm sure someone got a promotion or an OBE/MBE for that pile of rubbish that has been written and due implementation on 01 Jul 22.
