News just in that the Paras are going to be deployed to oversee the collection of illicit arm(s) badges that have proliferated in the days since the SDR.
It would appear that some AG Nazi is suggesting that the Army is no longer "uniform" due to the number of flashes, symbols and 50m swimming badges that now adorn the clothing of the average squaddie. Fears abound that in her frailty, Brenda will not be able to tell whether all the soldiers marching about so tidily are all hers if they are not all wearing Paddington Bear suits (long red coats and silly black furry things). This could lead to the dissolution of the monachy and the collapse of civilised society as we know it.
The Paras have been chosen in this highly technical rapid responce role as they are the world experts in nugatory badges, recently adding the "Gay Budgie" to their magnificent collection. The plan is for all badges to be collected in special "unstitching stations" from where they can be recorded and then put beyond further use (i.e. sold to Army Surplus).
This cannot be allowed to happen, especially in the week before I was due to get my "Home-help" badge. I would go and voice my concerns in person, only my embroidered CS95 is now so heavy I can barely move from my pit
