Have noticed v4.0 ACP 1358 came out this week, which has padded out more detail on CI uniform on different activities.
Para 136 on hosiery is still highlighted denoting a change in the ACP in that area, is there any change between V3 and V4?
With any luck they corrected it to match the IBN. What does it say? I can’t get on SharePoint right now.
It matches the IBN now

A brief read through was interesting…
I’m pleased to see that page 82 (and 118) now says uniformed staff have to wear both embroidered rank slides and anodised RAFAC insignia at all times - gotta make sure we’re identifiable! 
(I’m less pleased that we’re no longer permitted to wear greatcoats in ceremonial - I love mine for the once-or-twice a year I get it out! Still doesn’t appear to be any guidance on how they should be ranked, nor what insignia to use…)
Also, Para 0625(d) and 0501(b) seem a little contradictory?
CIs appear to have rules on what can be worn during types activities such as AT, although there’s no clarification on what kind of AT is occurring…? Whilst cargo/walking trousers and boots may be suitable for hiking, they’re probably less so for some other AT activities?
Some of the paragraphs in the CI section also just seem to be lists without any grammatical structure!
(EDIT butter fingers on my phone - corrected tank slides to rank slides)

Re greatcoats para 0210 says can still be worn on ceremonial (if all others have them)
Non ceremonial you can wear them even if not everyone has.

Oooh, thank you - differs from p82/118, but I’m going to take that paragraph as the more authoritative source than the caption to a picture
Is the Greatcoat picture still of someone not wearing a Greatcoat?
My inbox is open to feedback btw.
There will be a formal feedback process in due course.

@AlexCorbin talking of unform.
Is the Astra clothing programme still a thing or has it been kicked into the very long grass?
I havent got that far into the detail yet!
I’ll drop you an email when I get on to badgermail later

It is indeed - still a British warm
I was with him when he bought that. It was very soft
Tis nearly the season! Counting down the days!
Can anyone upload a copy of the most recent ACP1358 please?
TVM.
Does it apply to 6 FTS? Serious question, as someone told me the VR(T) identifiers are still detailed in AP 1358 because it, rather than the ACP, applies to remaining members of the RAFVR training branch.
If the ACP does apply, there has to be a better way to distribute it than posting it on a public forum.
It’s available on SharePoint.
Key Documents → ACP
6 FTS don’t have access to Bader, but the organisation shouldn’t be reliant on this forum to distribute docs to them either.
