i'm gonna disown them - if this is pucker gen i'm getting the fcuk out of dodge.

i'm my lot of 'scruffy old Green Jackets' can't tow the party line on something as simple as this then good luck to them and i'm glad i'm out of here.

i'm devastated.

I can tell you for certain 4 rifles are wearing it untucked as everyone else is. The only difference between 4 rifles and the rest of the army is that they don't wear a green belt with a smock.

What? You mean that they have given the CGS a big feck off tablet?

I do hope that RoyalGreenJacket takes the same moral highground on this point...

RGJ, dont worry about it. Not one Rifles bloke in Herrick at the moment has read the aforementioned "Rifles Dress Regs", as they are all out and down! And that goes for everyone in in PCS here. Although there are a few, and i suppose they will become the new Ally item after the 80's Tropical look, blokes wearing old CS95 MTP with sleeves up and tucked in. I prefer to overheat in my PCS to be fair!

Yep, seems to be the preferred fashion for certain senior officers on visits, seen several from various Corps wandering around PRB wearing 95 MTP in & up, seems that they can show off their stable belts that way

. But some people then confuse 95 with PCS because, to be blunt, they are f*cking stupid

i guarantee you he wasn't a Green Jacket.

And it looks like good old Prince Charles could've added some fuel to the fire after allegedly refusing to inspect the Ghurkas yesterday until they'd all tucked their shirts in as they looked too scruffy.

Just as everyone's getting it, Dumbo goes and ruins it.
