Green? Blue? Purple??
I have just completed a tour down a large hole close to Watford, where I was required to wear CS95 as normal working dress. Now, it may well be an operational HQ, but it is not in an operational theatre, so why wear it? This dressing in green seems to be ever-more prevalent these days, as we dance to the Army's tune (JOINT spelt A-R-M-Y), as it is seen as punchy, operational and supporting those in the front-line. However, it is not my normal working dress, nor is it the Navy's, and I don't work harder or more dilgently just because I am wearing it. Given that CAS has recently had a push on RAF ethos and spirit (seen the glossy mags in the crewroom??), isn't it about time we advertised ourselves wherever and whenever we can by wearing our own uniform?
