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. |
Congratulations to Hand Tattoo, I hope he or she has a great time during their service.

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. |

There are not many of us left, or indeed right.

Tattooing Left and Right on the relevant pilot hands could save money by not using marked flying gloves.

Or throttle, stick.

That is a good spot: a pedant's pedant. There are not many of us left, or indeed right.
Illustrating extremely basic grammatical blunders like that have nothing whatsoever to do with pedantry. |

There seems to be the most peculiar misunderstanding of the word "pedant" on this forum.

From the days before beards, weird hairstyles and tattoos were permitted in the uniformed services, Gunny

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? |
Thanks Biggus - now edited!
Mind you, Gunny Highway had a good way of dealing with ear rings.... |
and that's just the women.

Mog I always used port and left were both 4 letter words when getting use to it.

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