Wouldn’t surprise me…
Inline with other PTS badges and further removes RAFAV association with Nijmegen…
Very disappointing if true… the “nice” thing that came about following the events of 2022 when HQAC held the cadets back on Day 2 was to award a Silver Nijmegen badge for those cadets that still walked Day 3 & 4.
Given the expense and commitment to training, I thought it was an honourable way of recognising this cadets that had to withdraw from the Nijmegen March on Days 3 or 4.
It would still align with the Silver RM Badge, for completing two 40k walks.
Still hoping that HQAC consider reinstating the civvy team option - and block book an entire sports hall.
