At RAFC Cranwell, vintage years ago, the WRAF dress standard for tights / stockings changed from a grotty orangey colour to “Pewter Grey” & if my aged memory is correct, it was effective on 01 Apr.
So, all female student officers were notified to parade by Whittle Hall at lunchtime for an inspection…
…by only male staff, who initially asked for a label check!! Poor girls, their chins dropped!!
Which is why they’d never do it. They could cut costs by reducing the command structure, reduce the number of databases we run for record keeping, maximise the opportunities for the cadets by opening up all the courses
If someone can link to the GM Wing one without outing themselves it would be good
I tried linking from Facebook but it’s doing that annoying thing where when you click the link it goes “Joe Bloggs is trying to share something with you!”
This was from a decade ago now. Printed these out to look like they had come from the web, then left them scattered around campus for people to find.
It got a little out of hand. Lecturers ended up having to tell their students about the date before their lectures, the facilities staff apparently had an informal meeting about whether their jobs were safer and, a few weeks later, I was cycling into the city with a local person who told me how the campus was being sold off to an oil firm.
