On a bright note, i know of a Mercian CSM who was attached to the rifles for a tour with aload of his bods. They soon wished they were chosen men and began to adopt Rifles traits. This all came to head with a rather funny rant by said Mercian CSM stating that his blokes arn't "chippy Rifles mongs" to the extent of asking one of his blokes why he wasnt wearing twisties as he was about to go on patrol.

Redcoats....

I have fixed that for you this time; please don't be so slack in future and don't leave out any words.

No it won't.

It'll simply mean that most people have better things to do than whinging about how individual items of clothing are being worn.

Same applies to the length of sidies and various other obsessions.

It doesn't matter, except to you. And that means that you have nothing better to do. And that means you're an end.

As in bell, rather than leg.

And that little exchange encapsulates why beret fashons change and why its tolerated. Personally, as a Staff Sargeant in the RAF I wear my beret like a helicopter landing pad, because that's a bit related to aeroplanes and stuff. And because the uniform's so shit there's nothing I can do to make it stylish.

Mate it is as basic as it gets, why not change all the dress regs, or better yet do away with them completely? Perhaps that is your preference?
