VVC,
You must be REALLY short! Most of the RAF types round where I am can fit a Squadron crest on their left arm above the pen pocket, so unless this new RN Badge is more than 5" square it should fit - unless of course you are really SHORT.
On another point re wearing such a badge. In my day if the powers that be told me to put a badge on then you jolly well did. If the RN have decided to go for the corporate image thing and have one logo to represent it then so be it - most companies do. Look a the problems BA got into when they went all arty on their tails. Taking a look at the RN web-site shows a very clear corporate image and the logo looks fine to me.
Finally, if you are all wearing the same badge then what does it matter whether YOU like it or not.
So I guess its back to the bin and retrieve!
