It was always my understanding that HAT referred to High Altitude Target... But then that was a long time ago... Back in the shot.

Para reg officers do all arms p-coy and get flagged for it aswell but there not hats.
As for the para reg lads from ze war who were previously hats they have grandad rights of not being hats.

I always understood it as all the blokes that wear the beret and badge are not hats. If you change, including a blade, you are a hat!
