I will state once more, there are females serving in, not with the RAF Regiment. 51 Squadron had female RAF Regiment personnel with them supplied by 2622 Squadron.
2622 Squadron has a female corporal (Gunner) and several Aircrafts"wo"men serving. They are not attached, they are in the squadron.
It's a good job the RAF Regt aren't infantry then. Muppet.
Which is what I said
They were employed in a non combat role.
So, they are in an Infantry regiment, wearing infantry qualifications in many instances and most certainly wearing infantry regimental headress. I guess thats them in the Infantry then
No they are not! Good grief man is there no getting through to you? Look at the links I provided to both the Army and RAF careers website and you will see that they boldly state that Infantryman and RAF Regt Gunner are male only jobs.
An RAMC medic attached to the Infantry on ops, on ex, on the bloody parade ground, is still a medic and not 'in the infantry'.
A bandsman attached to an Infantry battalion, wearing their cap badge, is still a bandsman and not 'in the infantry'.
What defines an Infantryman in the British Army? Someone who has attended and passed the Combat Infantryman's Course.

I can say catagorically that there are females serving with the RAF Regiment this very day.
Not as members of the RAF Regt though. Again, they may be attached arms..

I think you just contradicted yourself there.
Well perhaps you'd better point that out to the RAF Regt as their website states the contrary.

Fuck me. You're thicker than whale omelette. Which part of 'No women serve in the infantry' do you not understand? There are women attached but not in a fighting role.
Probably the same part you dont!
A woman can go directly into an Infantry regiment, but not as an infantry COMBAT SOLDIER. Saying a woman cannot serve in the infantry is not correct. Saying she cannot serve in a combat role is different and correct.
I have never denied that point.
The females we had joined direct, still went through Infantry Training (I was lucky enough to be on the first "female" recruits course at Penicuick in 1993 as demo staff), still were badged (Wee bayonet in a laurel wreath on the sleeve etc) but where employed in non combat roles.
They also got paid the same as an infantry combat soldier....if Infantry qualified.

Not sure how i contradicted myself..in meaning IN as opposed to with meaning attached.
2622 had a recruiting day around 2 months ago. On that visit where 5 or 6 females. A female RAF Regiment bod came across from the Regular Squadron to talk to the group about womens roles in the RAF Regiment.
I beg to differ on the requirements..others have brought this up on different sites.

Look females cannot fight in the infantary!!! It's as simple as that. You're wrong we're right, just accept the facts.
There are no two ways about it
You contradicted yourself because you first posted this ...
I can say catagorically that there are females serving with the RAF Regiment this very day.
and then posted this ...
I will state once more, there are females serving in, not with the RAF Regiment.
I'm going leave the rest of it because there's obviously no persuading you otherwise and I'm already starting to repeat myself. Anyway good luck to you and fine battalion of Highland lassies.

You will find that females are attached in support role only to the infantary.
We cannot actually join and fight as men do on the "front line".

Ok, lets settle this one by an internet "show of hands".
Everyone who is currently serving in the infantry and therefore has a pretty good idea of whether women are allowed to serve in the infantry, put your hands up....
Falsch..White rabbit..me.. OK, got all those.
2/51... RAF Aux you say? Were in the TA years ago but no idea about the current reality? Best keep your hand down and listen to those that actually know about it then. You might just learn something!

Read the various posts concerning the loophole in the '90s that is now well and truly closed.
In part, it came about because TA units were not allowed to turn away female recruits, but did not always have a place in their orbat for them wearing non-Inf capbadges (as they should have been). They were therefore allowed to train alongside and wear Inf headdress until the issue was resolved. This was also in the days when TA recruit training was all over the place with every unit doing it's own thing.
One last time - a woman cannot go directly to an infantry regiment. They go to a Corps and can then be attached to an infantry regiment, carrying out a role appropriate to their Corps. That is it, no further room for discussion.
