In my previous posting, we wore number 2B (short sleeved) routine WORKING dress. Same for every course I have been on. Believe it or not, it is perfectly okay to wear no 2B uniform sat behind a desk, it will not kill you. I must only wear CS95, or whatever is replacing CS95 this week, about once a year for CCS or when OOA.
I just find it baffling rpas operators must wear a flying suit to control a drone flying over Angela Merkel.
I once knew an aircrew bod, who was punted to the units airshow office whilst he was holding. He wore his flying suit every day to the office whilst he was waiting for his flying training to start. Yes, we did give him stick for it.
I once read a complaint on a station commanders forum asking why everyone has to get changed out of their coveralls and into no 2 dress to walk into clothing stores, except Biggles in his flying suit?
