It first happened in 96-ish when a det co asked BZZ to send out a couple of sets of brevets to put on his DPM. Totally against regs (then) but who were we to argue? We packed them up, sent them and chuckled.
Since then, it seems to be the men on the ground who wear them. The boys (and girls) who do the work in the air don't seem to need them.
Still - only on a par with overweight sky-queens at BZZ wearing jumpers all summer so we knew they flew.
