opps, I think sir Henry has a lot of wisdom in his posts, if you have earnt them you wear them, the people who have earnt them will wait for cadets to ask them!

I have noticed on a number of posts that there appears to be constant complaints and reference to ACF AI's and officers wearing DZ flashes and TRFS etc which are we all know not permitted.
I personally have not actually seen this myself ,and wondered if anyone has seen extensive use of such regalia.........
All my normal kit has no trfs or nutty badges ,do we see much of this ? and what is everyone elses opinion of regt regalia as far as the cadets are concerned ?
When I was a cadet 16 years ago my detachment wore 10 paras dz flash proudly and saw it as a link to the old battalion and when serving as airborne forces myself we quite liked the fact that OUR cadets wore OUR DZ flash it seemed to give people a sense of pride.
What is everyone elses opinion ?
(I personally own 1 tatty windproof smock which I have owned for about 12 years and is as threadbare as it gets ,it still has a 16 AA bde budgie and DZ flash on it but is never used except in the field and then very very very rarley as a spare due to it's state .
And I certainly don't see it as walting it up,It has seen legitimate ops use 3 times and I have to be honest it would probably fall apart if I started taking off foreign wings and badges I would like to stress this is not used to cut about in when dealing with cadets and bigtiming as I hear constant reference to by distgruntled arssers.)
But you can whistle if you think I'm taking my dz flash etc off it .
