It is normal to cut the guys who are doing ops a little slack and let them concentrate on the task in hand. There is little more frustrating to those actually getting their hands dirty in a full on shooting war than some shiny-arsed blunty REMF tw @t bombarding you with triv from 3000 miles behind the FLOT. I know the AAC like to starch iron their Y-fronts but even they can overlook a tiny non-uniform item on det. Anyway, the chain from my nose ring to my Prince Albert never did my career any harm. Must stop nodding my head when I'm listening to people though.
