I'm ex RAAF and I don't mind it at all.

I would suggest a change to the cap badge but won't lay awake at night if it does not happen - it is a corporate wardrobe and (noting that beauty is in the eye of the beholder) in my view, better than the current one.

I certainly earned my RAAF wings and lost some skin and hair as an 18/19 year old doing so but the reality is, whilst still securely serving, I filled out a form, did some tests, flew a sim and sat an interview for my Qantas job (who happened to be the first employer to say yes - I think I had 3 other live applications and was at various stages with those other airlines), and the wings came with the uniform fitting before I had even flown a Qantas aircraft.

I got handed a second stripe after my PUIT trip with a few mumbles and that was it and I did not expect anything; I had left HM's service and was now in civilian employment.

See you out there in the new gear people!
