Well put. Articulate and to the point. Well done matey....
Now, I don't disagree with the concept at all. Im all for increasing the footprint of the FAA and encouraging the yoof of today to join the finest band of brothers and by far and away the most professional aviators in the Armed Forces. But why oh why did we choose that badge? It doesn't fit (cos the pen pocket is in the way) and it looks as though it should be accompanied by an AA badge. A lot of RN aviators proudly wear the White Ensign on their Left arms (an Oval badge which fits the shoulder).
So, who chose to have a rectangular badge which disappears up your arm pit?
