Why do all Air Force officers wear flying suits in ops rooms (some times deep underground) for NATO exercises.Even if they are not, and never have been, aircrew?
Well I have worked in bunkers up and down the east coast, the bunker at HQ11Gp and the bunker at the CAOC at HW for over 20 years, I never wore a flying suit in my life. In fact, I never
had a flying suit.
Though if I had one, and had the option of wearing it instead of a full set of DPMs, wooly-pully, boots etc in a bl**dy hot ops room, I might have tried to get away with it......
ps1. If attached "type/role SMEs" had a Sqn or aircraft badge on, it made find the right person to ask a question a bit easier.
ps2. If anti-flash was so vital, how come the NLOs never brought their´s along with them?
