OK AIDU, what affects the average serviceman more on a day to day basis? And don't bother coming out with any bo**ocks about US presidential foreign policy. What about the directive to travel in blues (you are to...) on public transport? What about the abuse from certain undesirables? How about on a bike? It says "you are to...", but if I live 10 miles from work is that practical? So, you get over it!!!
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Who wears Blues?
Anyone seen an airman in blues out in the wild so to speak?
I don't mean just outside the camp but say some distance from the unit? I saw a flt lt yesterday in the street, in shirt sleeves and stable belt (truss?), but that didn't really count as he had nipped out of the recruiting office.
What is the most senior sighting? I saw a gp capt shoping once and a wg cdr OC Admin too, who was wearing a foul weather jacket in Marks and Spencer, but they were rare glimpses.

Went to a meeting at HQ 22 Gp the other day - in blues (as is the order). At reception I was told that blues are banned! It would appear that it is a "security risk" given that the building does not have "proper security". So, it is OK, in terms of being a soft target, for me to go to the local supermarket to buy sandwiches for lunch, but not for the big HQ building.
