I wonder if any if these cadets are also in the Scouting movement and feel that on 'Scouts Day' they should wear their Scouting/Guiding uniforms on the weekly cadet night?

I am sure you would find the rules regarding wearing of uniform are laid down in ACP20B.

As I said, I applaud the sentiment...............

Summary -

Kids should have asked ATC Sqn and school, but hearts in right place and best intentions.

School - Heads up their @rses, cannot see bigger picture or in Rugby terms - play "advantage".

Kids set good example, next year ask first

Next question..................

Next question..................
The insurance bit, wearing uniform and being on duty. Not that I care (because I will keep doing it until I go back to a unit that wants me to do it in an official capacity), but it did cross my mind that when I turn up at my local church, on Remembrance Sunday, in uniform, but not in an official capacity, is someone going to get their knickers in a twist over whether I am on duty or not?

RP -ISTR something in dress regs (at least for officers) that wearing uniform on appropriate occasions was authorised as long as not as "fancy dress". No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong

Found this

Wearing of Uniform by retired, reserve and Royal Auxiliary Air Force Officers
0117. Occasions when No 1 Service Dress may be worn.
Officers on the Retired and Reserve Lists, Royal Auxiliary Air Force officers and ex officers who are permitted to retain their rank may wear uniform on the following occasions:
a. When attending:
(1) Investitures and Royal Garden Parties.
(2) State ceremonial occasions.
(3) Parades in an official capacity, in connection with the celebration of the Sovereign’s birthday.
(4) Their own wedding or other military weddings when the sponsor requests the wearing of uniform.
Page 8 of 20 AL8 AP 1358, CHAP 1
(5) When attending formal Service functions.
b. When participating in an official capacity, in:
(1) Non-Service parades.
(2) War Memorial services and associated parades.
c. When inspecting or visiting:
(1) RAuxAF units in an official capacity.
(2) Units of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) of the Air Training Corps (ATC) on behalf of the Ministry of Defence or Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Associations.
d. When appointed for service with the ATC (the rank badges to be worn are those appropriate to the ATC appointment).
e. When on duty as officials duly appointed by the Ministry of Defence.
f. When holding the appointments of ADC to Her Majesty’s Governor General or Governor.
g. When holding the appointment of Lord Lieutenant or Deputy Lord Lieutenant of a county, High Sheriff or Sheriff and discharging the duties of that appointment. (Lieutenancy insignia may not be worn on RAF dress but entitled RAF flying badges may be worn on the Lieutenancy dress).

I think everyone concerned behaved properly except for the person on the outrage bus that chose to squawk to the media - the Torygraph had half the story too.

Parents should have ensured they took uniform to school for the PM session; in fact we don't know they didn't.

Such a pious bunch of pricks on here. These are kids trying to do something positive. Maybe they [and their parents] did not understand the correct protocols but what was the 'crime'? Put your burka or turbin on, don't polish your shoes, don't iron your shirt....all ok>>

Wake up world, we need kids like this.

Having a new Audi though, so hey ho.
Hey ho indeed, I'm still working full time but never felt able to afford a new Audi...

P.s. well done, though - you're obviously indispensable!

Ahh Schoolteachers.. Another parasite occupation where you take from the state for 25 years, retire then get allowed to take the pension and continue doing the same job. Like the police and the various 'civilian jobs' that they end up doing.

Anyway back on track (In my Mercedes Benz) It's simple, get the uniform cleared first.

I've seen all this tripe recently on the social meeja and it's utterly tiresome.

What I do believe is that this is a fine opportunity for schools across Britain who accommodate cadets to endorse the annual wearing (on a voluntary basis) of cadet uniforms for the entire day on Armistice Day.

Firstly, thank you for continuing to fund my pension. I appreciate it.

My nibble here, is just to explain that one is not allowed to access one's pension and return to work too. Unless you do what I did- and take an actuarial hit of about 20% for ever, which released me from the usual strictures of the scheme. (It's a great scheme)

Thanks again.

AR1,

If you have a private sector pension you can do just that perfectly legally or you may choose to defer payment and accept a larger pension when it's eventually paid but, if you drive a Mercedes, you'd know that already

ps, Thanks to the 'parasites' who taught me, I did quite nicely, thank you all. Regret not sending pic of wings parade with 'Thank you' note to them all those years ago. My retired parasite wife, who used to spend three hours a night marking and calculating SATs is frequently greeted in town by former pupils and their parents who valued her contribution. I tell her it's a form of immortality.

Apologies for offending all teachers. I should have used 'parasitic' in that context.

As a fellow Audi driver, one would like to point out to those that have said they should have asked permission from the school,

A comment I listed earlier from where the School is.

Quote: hannparker, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, 15 hours ago
Can I add, they were given prior permission by some staff, and the 2minute silence was cut to 30secs in some classes!
