Whilst I can’t imagine that we’ve got much need for sticking rank onto helmets or zap plates I have seen far worse than that!

It is so hard to put into words how I feel about this… consternated anger maybe.

I’ve never understood why you would wear blue rank slides on green uniform. It has always struck me as a bit odd…

I’ve seen a lot of squadrons making own TRFs for the left Velcro patch on uniform.
Even a few with sand and multi cam boots. Oh the joys .
Yeah just don’t do it with a copyrighted logo…

I have a panel with my name and a TRF on it, on my rucksack. I have an admin pouch on the MOLLE loops and used it there. Not sure where else could ever use it though?
Is that perhaps for those Keela jackets some people are so fond of?
@AlexCorbin wait until you see my MTP rank slides with RAF AC embroidered underneath.
Do have a brown paper bag to hand for your inevitable panic attack

Again I know your history… Won’t pick a fight and risk having my vocals removed out my back passage… Always a fan of picking the right battles

Not even if I told you that the embroidery was in sand-coloured cotton (which it is)?
Lol. Alex, I’m too old to fight. too overweight to run and too tired to argue. I’ll just use the butt of a L98
In all seriousness, why would I get bent out of shape because I was taken to task over rank slides? I’d just smile sweetly and say: “how do you take your tea, Alex?”

They are nice though. 
Not as much as the Acrteryx LEAF stuff!
The Keela’s are the absolute shiz - effectively derigour for the Baltic’s, Norway and the Falklands.
Bit steep, but very good, and very durable. Effectively they are a waterproof combat jacket but without the sweatfest of the issue thing.

They were the jacket of choice among the regulars who assisted with JL when I was there. Never got the attraction myself.
I’d prefer to get my hands on one of the very, very rare MTP issue Arctic smocks in gabardine.
This was in the regulations for a while, so plenty of units still have them in my experience.
