Piper said:We can't really have a 'if you want to wear it' kind of dress/ceremonial uniform...IMHO.
We already have this with the Navy high-collar whites. They are authorized for wear but not mandatory.

Piper said:That order of dress is second only to a piper in full highland regelia in overall 'cool-ness'.

Piper said::rofl:
How old ARE you?
recceguy said:Old enough to know and practice the difference between treachery and youthful exuberance > To paraphrase another old ******* around here, first I reached the rank of centurion, then I drove one (for 3 years ;D. Tripwire for NATO, and all that)
The chain mail and spurs are part of the current patrol dress
recceguy said:My Regiment's Officers and Snr NCOs wear patrols, and we are in the process of establishing the viability\ need for the Jr ranks. Many of the Reserve Armoured Recce regiments wear them. I wear my DEU once a year at the Men's Xmas dinner. All the rest of the times, when not in CADPAT (or Mess Kit) we are in Patrols. You'll find the reference for them in Ch 5 of the Dress Regs - A-PD-201-000/PT-000
Don't be so sure. The chain mail eppaulettes and spurs have turned more than one damsels head
Corps of Guides said:I've always been a little confused that the PRes was able to retain Patrol Dress as an optional item (along with NavRes and RegF Navy) yet the RegF Army was not.

Loachman said:The Navy did/does not wear Patrol Dress.
Nor did the PRes retain the NavRes and RegF Navy as an optional item.

Loachman said:Urinate elsewhere.
Even if mine technically isn't.
The Anti-Royal said:I still have mine, as well. There was at least one occasion, however, where it was carried outside 2 RCR lines (perhaps with an attendant bending of the rules).
In the spring of 1985, I reported to the RCR Battle School as an augmentee course officer and had brought my ash plant. The RSM gently asked me, "What the f*&k, sir, is that?". I guess I made it to the Adjt's office just before Mr. Riley got to the CO, and was authorized to carry it.
That wasn't Joe Riley formally of the Guards was it? If it was I can see why you made a bee line for the Adj's office.
Michael O'Leary said:That's OK Loachman, you would just change from being a dashingyoungpilot with a great mustache, to being a dashingyoungpilot with a great disdain for mustache regulations and orders.
