Going around in uniform isn't generally the done thing in my opinion and this goes back to the Troubles and the necessity to avoid being a target. The Army have quite a different approach to this now and they're more than happy to wonder around in their rig - especially if it's one of those Garrison towns.
I know the Naval Service is trying to promote recruitment by exposing civvies to those in the military, but I think jack needs a better rig if this is to be successful.
Drab blue, badly fitting uniforms and shabby individuals (often sporting pot bellies) isn't the way ahead - more roll mats, a good baby oil base, and minimal cloth covering the vital areas should be the order of the day :wink:
