There’s a lot of interesting detail in this version. It appears as though they’re also trying to enforce CI “uniform”
Because all the money went on a really legible badge, complete with phallic punctuation?

Let them try… 
Do you want your new flying ACTO 
What would be the point in continuing an item that only applies to a uniform that was superseded 13 years ago? Yes, some people still have it: but there’s no need to continue having separate badges just for them.

I’ve seen them being worn by people in the MTP barrack shirts…
My unit is 90% DPM, many wore them on smocks too.
Ewwwwww.
Seen a few officers wearing RAF ones, but they all come off now

So, when MTP first came in it was just CS95s in MTP rather than DPM. The badging policies wouldn’t have changed until PCS CU replaced MTP CS95, so I can see how that would have happened, 13 years ago or so.
…and recently too.
Last year or two, when people started wearing barrack shirts.
The CS95 badging policy applies better to the barrack shirt than the blanking panel ones.

It certainly does in terms of positioning the badges on the creases, measuring down from the seam, etc: but not having extras that are just for obsolete and / or unissued but ‘tolerated’ items if uniform.
They weren’t obsolete or “tolerated” before this afternoon?
I thought barrack shirts had always been ‘tolerated’ rather than authorised: because they could be purchased as an innocent mistake?
Edit: DPM has been obsolete since 2010, but still included due to availability. The only change this afternoon is it no longer has extra badges exclusively for it.
Tell that to my cadets, who are all, bar one, still wearing it.

Just caught up with this. Makes me laugh.
Male CIs should always have a top with a collar on
And then it goes on to try and dictate what I should wear during AT stuff… What?!

Surely if they’re enforcing a uniform, then you are uniformed CFAVs and eligible for the CFM.

If the RAFAC want to enforce a CI “uniform” in the same way St John Ambulance or other such organisations give branded polo shirts etc to help with corporate identity when their people are volunteering/engaging, then I can’t see a huge problem with that.
There’s definitely an argument for saving all that brain power and letting CIs dress themselves appropriately for the activity and saving a load of money though.
