Currently residing in RAF Lincolnshire, an RN uniform causes confusion and puzzlement. I have been mistaken for everything from a traffic warden to a stripper to an American service person!? Whilst in the States was mistaken for an airline pilot.....
On a flight back from the US on Mr Branson's finest the chief air hostess did pass her personal thanks to the UK Servicemen on board, although that may have been to do with the lads keeping her company at the back on the overnight flight!
Recently, whilst walking through the town (with appropriate headwear!) received a 'Hello Sailor!' as the only form of recognition, at least it was the right service!
Soddim - have also been described as 'too military' although I took it as a complement.
