Having the duty performed by Admin functionaries makes a huge deal of sense, but there is also a sense of "sharing the wealth" - everybody does their turn at being OO so it comes around less frequently, and of course we can go down the overstretch/mucking in path of the argument.

However, until such a time that aircrew are exempt from taking their turn at orderly, the question remains, and as I see it, it comes down to 2 things.[list=1][*]It is a scutter to change in and out of blue[*]Performing the ceremonial duty in blue is the proper thing to do (from the book and from the heart)[/list=1]

weigh that up and decide where you stand.
