PC - rumour has it an IOT stude has complained because he was called a p**f for wearing gloves on a cold morning
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Its exactly that mentality of Talking Radalt that undermines everything the military stands for now.
Just because you had a beasting at the start of your military career; times have changed so face the facts. Accept the PC nature of the world and get on with your job. If someone wants to wear gloves, let them. If you got a problem with it - keep your mouth shut, and dont pass derogative comments.
Whilst on this topic, the RAF and all armed forces need to step into the 21st century and change it's culture towards; bullying, harrasment, drinking..........
Airline pilots get put in jail for the smallest smell of alcohol in their breath; Why is the same not for the military?? Perhaps it is only a minority but ive seen pilots pi$$ed up till 3am; then climing into aircraft at 8am!!!
