Unless officers uniform allowance has changed, replacement falls on the individual. So why do aircrew not on flying duties get clothed for free by the taxpayer?
Why not? Those officers who work in RAF No3 Combat dress ( ie greens or CS95) don't have to pay for their working dress either - that includes most of the Army. Should we charge them for replacing those items or only for wear an tear incurred during normal work and not for wear and tear on the same clothes incurred during exercises/operations. - This is not an invitation to reopen the shouldn't wear CS95 when not on ex/ops debate.
This thread is getting silly now.
