<<There is an apparent double standard between an RAFVR(T) member wearing mess kit - which people seem to think shows commendable enthusiasm - and a PPL who wishes to wear eppaulettes - which people seem to think is completely beyond the pale. Personally, I think that both are rather pretentious, but (as I've said repeatedly) harmless ... anyone who wants to do either won't get an argument from me.>>
But we do seem to be getting a lot of repeat arguments from you on this.....
Which service did you earn your commission in?
Well I have a full RAF Commission (Ret'd), and one of the new fandango CPL/IR thingies and don't see any double standards in someone who gives of there time and energies to support the youth of today and hopefully help keep them off the street away from murdering children and taking drugs, wearing the mess dress or any other form of dress they are perfectly entitled to.
I see nothing wrong with a PPL wearing as many gold bars as they please allthough I thing it looks damn stupid as they climb from a 152 .....
