Hand Tattoo's now allowed in the RAF
see the link

Royal Air Force recruits and serving personnel are no longer prohibited from having full hand tattoos after senior officials decided to amend the service's decades-old policy on body art.
The removal of the RAF's previous zero tolerance stance on hand tattoos brings the service in line with British Army and Royal Navy guidance.
The RAF's former policy prohibited anyone with body ink outside of a single finger tattoo which could not be concealed with a wedding band or ring.

Standing by for the ourage bus full of people it has zero impact on.
FWIW I don't think it will have any signifigant impact on recruitment, but it always seemed strange to me to bin suitable candidates simply because they had tattoos on hands/neck/whatever.

Or throttle, stick.
Illustrating extremely basic grammatical blunders like that have nothing whatsoever to do with pedantry.

From the days before beards, weird hairstyles and tattoos were permitted in the uniformed services, Gunny Highway Hartman had a very positive way of ensuring that recruits could tell left from right....

BEagle,
Gunny Highway was a character played by Clint Eastwood in the film Heartbreak Ridge.
Your clip is from the film Full Metal Jacket, where the instructor is Gunnery Sergeant (Gunny) Hartman, played by Lee Ermey.
...or am I just being pedantic?

A fascinating insight as to why Army recruits were rejected, none where because they wanted to join the RAF or Navy.
