But PCS sucks? I haven’t worn a PCS LW jacket in over a year!
As soon as the barrack shirt was permitted I binned off the PCS…the banking plates just get in the way!

I didn’t even wait for it to be permitted. As soon as I got my hands on one. That was it.

Ever seen the Blue stuff? We’d have Squadrons of mechanics.
So we need an extra uniform?
Shopping at RIAT this year for a barrack shirt…
Cadet direct have them… just bought one in anticipation of a greens-only summer camp.
That sounds like heresy to me…
Didn’t you wear one anyway?
I was referring to a wholly green summer camp.
I don’t technically have a barrack shirt, I had the MTP CS95 shirt, which was technically allowed under the regs…

Women’s slacks! The need to be redesigned. They are not fitting properly. They should remove the word ‘slacks’ and call them trousers.

The benefit of the women’s pantaloon options is that slacks fit some women, but not others and vice versa for the male trousers. That’s why the regs give female personnel the option of either
Male personel under equality law should have the option of a skirt or even kilt where apropriare.

I was just reminded of the existence of MTP kilts because I saw somebody wearing one in a train station.
Let’s get those!

The skirts are the least of the problems under the Equality Act

Until you have a cadet who is transgender or transitioning.
Then it’s their choice…simple.

It’s really not ‘simple’
You’re right…
However cadet x says I now identify as a female i want to wear female clothing, parents are aware etc…surely the decision is simple to allow them that opportunity

It’s more complex when you have a cadet who identifies somewhere in the middle, unless they identify as definitively female, they cannot wear nail varnish, or hair longer than their collar. Why? There is simply no good reason for the different treatments
