Defence Brand Streamlining and Moratorium
A branding project has been initiated by DGMC to clarify the MOD brand and introduce a clear brand architecture across Defence. The aim is to revitalise and embed a stronger corporate culture across MOD in line with the Head
Office streamlining project and the Capability Review. There are currently multitudes of logos, publications and websites across Defence which confuse audiences and the Defence brand has become more and more diluted.

. Slang An infantryman in the U.S. military, especially in the Vietnam War: "They were called grunts....They were the infantrymen, the foot soldiers of the war" Bernard Edelman
I understood it was a US acronym like GI - Government Issue or
Government Reject Unfit Normal Training.
Definitely not one of HM's Jollies.

WTF is a 'Brand Guardian or Advocate'?
It sounds like something from one of those sci-fi games little boys play on an xbox, whatever that is.....
"I am the Brand Guardian"
"Well eat my laser-sabre bolt, you dork! FZZZT"
Seriously, who are these lunatics farting about with 'Defence Brand Streamlining'? Pony-tailed latte macchiato-sipping Untermensch of the civil serpentry, presumably - surely they cannot be real Service personnel?

Although somewhat bemused at seeing a thread on the Red Arrows ascending/descending
into whether the Royal Marines are part of the Royal Navy or not, I am at least prompted to say that unexpectedly seeing the Reds, usually in transit past my remote corner of the country, evokes the same thrill that seeing HM Yacht BRITANNIA under way used to do.
Just let's hope the Reds never go the same way as the Yacht..... Are you listening, Mr Brown-Trousers?

PS The Royal Navy website leads directly to www.royalmarines.mod.uk where the opening words are "The Royal Marines are the Royal Navy's amphibious infantry..."!

Apart from the growth of aviation stuff on the Emmerdale set, Tucano, Nimrod, The Blades and others I noticed the appearance of a yellow S&R model heleo perched on the bar. I wonder why? 
Then again why not?

I think that the Emmerdale bar also has an Air Cadet crest on the wall, which the HQ will like.
Less pleasing was its placing in an episode of Shameless, where it appeared on the wall of the local knocking shop that was doing special offers for schoolboys.
