I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

What bothers me more is that it is a direct attack on CS95. We had just got to the point where many were op focussed in the RAF, getting away from our 1990s Mon-Fri 8-5 office image, and some idiot (with all due respect, sir) decides to bin that and remind us that we should be Mon-Fri 8-5, don't get ops oriented. Because that is what no 2s symbolize. I hate to say it but the army have gone the right way - CS95 if not in specialist kit

All that money spent on the patches and logos on our DPMs, and we are not allowed to wear them- are we getting the equivalent in blue for our No 2s, or a large Roundel on our backs???
and having read the IBN note that the green demin is to be replaced by a new blue overall with an RAF Logo patch.

The whole thing, and the IBN says this, is a PRO exercise to raise public perception.

Remember the other services are apparently to go away from CS95 too. We are at war and we are now going away from wartime dress.

I don't believe these are in stock yet and that is non-essential expenditure.
