Sideshowbob.....
Now that you have become unnecessarily personal.....it will be swords at dawn - hats on of course. I am a nice bloke and fun to work with and of course I also take correction/criticism. What your post indicated IMHO was when hats should be worn outdoors. I was talking about inside buildings such as SHQ etc when you are visiting on duty and in uniform.
My experience, which is considerable is that the vast majority of Junior Ranks and some Seniors can't wait to remove their headgear when they enter the front doors which I feel is totally at odds with any military ethic that I have been brought up to believe in. They then forget to don their headgear when enterring an Officer's office (when Officer is in his office) to pay the normal courtesies to salute the Queen' commission.
You can spout all the cr@p you like about AP blah de blah but I still think it's wrong and unmilitary.
I'd love to attend one of your 'CRM/HF leasons' - I bet they're a bag of larfs!
