What's In A Name
Throughout my time in the RAF and various bits of the reserves, I have always had a name tag on my jackets or pully. Recently, I was told this was no longer acceptable (except on certain training courses) and my little collection of blue name tags now resides in a drawer.
At about the same time, I noticed the new RN working dress has a name badge on it. In addition, most aircrew wear their flying badge on their 'growbag' and this usually has a name or nickname as part of the neddlework.
It seems incongruous/illogical for name badges to be removed from blues but still carried on flying overalls and for one service to introduce (perpetuate) name badges whilst another is removing theirs.
It all smacks of the annual change in the neckline/weave of the wooly pully.
Thoughts?
