I always understood that the wearing of CS95 or RAF No2/Army barrack dress/RN ?? (showing purple ignorance there) was a matter of individual choice. There are RAF personnel there who wear blues. I only wear greens out of laziness because I run/bike the 5 miles to/from the office and I can carry a week's CS95 in my rucsack and it still look reasonably ironed when I put it on. At least those in the large hole wear a uniform that distinguishes what service someone is in - especially with all those nice RAF badges (I think we've got a space on the back for another one ). Rather that the suited warriors in MOD Main Building. So why can't 'head office' wear uniform?
(Here's a tip - if you regularly read the sy assessments you'll be able to identify that it can't be for CT reasons)
