Many thanks for all that guff - 99.99% of which is totally irrelevant to what I was saying in my post.
However, I must remember to take my hat off when wearing a hijab when indoors!!
My point remains - wear the hat, cap or whatever when INDOORS!! and remember that you don't wear it on the waterfront! Simples.........

Nice to see there are still some people out there who can't take correction/criticism. By the way 3.03% of the post was prevalent to you (first 12 words, therefore only 96.97% of the post was irrelevant but included for context).
Don't wear headress indoors at your place of work, QR202.
Don't wear headress indoors full stop AP1358.
I bet you’re a joy to work with.
p.s. I’m sorry you feel that the rules and regulations of the Royal Air Force are Guff.

What are the mil rules for headwear in churches also?
Well, whilst Zulu Mike is absolutely correct, they were even more simple as understood by the Chief Petty Officer Gunnery Instructor marching a contingent of sailors into Rochester Cathedral for a Church Parade. As each file entered the cathedral, they were expected to smartly remove their cap in the time-honoured naval manner, and all did so except one, at which point the Chief GI bawled out at the top of his voice, "Take your 'at off in the 'ouse of Gawd, c**t!"

Not really, just one of those people that likes to get their facts right. If you think thats bad, you want to come and sit in on one of my CRM/HF leasons.

Sideshowbob.....
Now that you have become unnecessarily personal.....it will be swords at dawn - hats on of course. I am a nice bloke and fun to work with and of course I also take correction/criticism. What your post indicated IMHO was when hats should be worn outdoors. I was talking about inside buildings such as SHQ etc when you are visiting on duty and in uniform.
My experience, which is considerable is that the vast majority of Junior Ranks and some Seniors can't wait to remove their headgear when they enter the front doors which I feel is totally at odds with any military ethic that I have been brought up to believe in. They then forget to don their headgear when enterring an Officer's office (when Officer is in his office) to pay the normal courtesies to salute the Queen' commission.
You can spout all the cr@p you like about AP blah de blah but I still think it's wrong and unmilitary.
I'd love to attend one of your 'CRM/HF leasons' - I bet they're a bag of larfs!

Hats on salute when entering and exiting the office of an Officer. You don't keep hats on and sling one up when entering or exiting Clothing Stores! Wearing a hat indoors isn't unmilitary - it is what you are supposed to do.
You lot can't go complaining about being portrayed as being unmilitary one minute and then crying because some nasty man wants you to do an annual fitness test the next.

By the way I think you'll find you became unnecessarily personal first.

p.s. I also know how to use a spell checker (unneccessarily irelevant), yet what more could you expect from a rotary crewman

Don't take the moral high ground,
and then send a reply by personal message.
There is a difference between banter in an open forum and abuse via personal message. If you can't take banter stay out of the crewroom.
Please do explain why I would have a chip on my shoulder about crewmen
What was it I said about not being able to take correction.
Don't take the moral high ground,
Sideshow Bob. That will do.
"Chip on shoulder......."
What's your bloody problem sunshine. The RAF I joined used to have some discipline and YOU DIDN'T TAKE YOUR BLOODY HAT OFF INSIDE BUILDINGS! The fact the rules have changed (obviously according to you) still doesn't change my mind. Having been a rotary crewman has bugger all to do with it you cheeky git. So bo@@ox to you.

Chaps,
It simply isn't done to quote Personal Messages on the open forum. One just doesn't......
Back to Airline Travel in Uniform, I would suggest

Perhaps one should not send abusive messages to felow forum members whilst hiding behind the epitome of virtue then.
I'm afraid you are incorrect in this case Beagle. The man is happy to appear to be benevolent in public whilst being malevolent to a fellow ppruner in private. I have been known to be antagonistic at times but I would not post in private anything I would not post in public. This is after all a forum.
