DZ patch or TRF... they all provide? Recognition. The green n yeller thing is a 31 spec item, most FJ sqns are now allowed to wear them. Does it make you hot under the collar that it's now allowed to be seen to belong to something? Perhaps you'd rather he wore nothing and was misidentified as a blunty? Hold on, he could be the Sqn J1 blunty (not the SACT). Helpful Stacker, you are right, the badges come with velcro to enable them to be removed, so that when the VIP has done one, the boys/ girls can return the badges allowing the unhelpful stacker to count them off on his F.668...
As for the big gay RAF badges that extend across the R/H chest, I'm with you on that one. Individual unit badges
Big gay pointless badges
Hurrah
Finished.
