A RAFAC WO, who had been an SAC in the RAF >20 yrs previously, rocked up to the Sqn in 2C.
Cue Acting OC (coincidentally a WSO - another long story) to tell him that was not permitted uniform.
But I was issued this in the RAF! I wore it in the RAF, so I can wear it now as uniform
Err, no Joe*, that’s not how it works. In the RAFAC, only cadets can wear 2C
But I was issued this in the RAF! I’m allowed to wear it!
I find 1358C: it specifically says only cadets are scaled to wear 2C
I don’t believe that! I was issued this in the RAF! I’m allowed to wear it!
sighs all round
15 mins later, coincidentally, WWO (who is now very famous) turns up. WWO repeats everything we’ve all said, and is met with the same brick wall mindset. WWO leaves without managing to change Joe’s behaviour.
