My last CSS was at RAF Uxbridge (who parent us Watford types). Nice early start meant having to fight through London morning rush-hour, and a day out of the office was a break from planning real-time operations and I was back in the UK not in some horrible part of the world. Still wasn't I pleased that I was subjected to a lecture about the proper way to wear CS95 including learning that I shouldn't wear the old type webbing belt - important stuff or what? Or maybe we could just bin that particular item and start a bit later. Then again, perhaps we could extend the brief to include regulations for carrying nice blue rucksacks as well
To be far on the Stn Regt section, they were very professional and pitched the whole day at just about the right level. You could tell that they were embarrassed to give the CS95 brief; however, it had been mandated by the SWO. Can this only happen at the home of QCS and RAF Music Services? I hope so.
