Your serving with the regiment, the regiment is Not serving with you. Fall in line, or, fall out.

A little story for you perhaps to raise the level of bonhomie on the thread.
In my younger days, I was medical officer to the 4th battalion Kings Own Light Yorkshire infantry and the Queen was coming to Pontefract Barracks to present the regiment with new colours. Myself and the Padre were informed that we we not to present ourselves at the ceremony as our marching was unacceptable and would spoil the effect of the parade.
The padre and myself were both white, we didn't complain or make a fuss, we understood the desires of the Commanding Officer.

Now come on, you know the precedent set, the law doesn't apply equally for all, exceptions are deliberately put in so laws apply differently to different groups. By insisting they wear the bearskin, are you going to insist every biker wears a helmet next ? Now come on ! Be fair.

Could we just pause for a moment and consider the impact this is all going to have on Mr Islay?

Thoughts and prayers.

Precisely Douglas. As I said, uniform is just that. Anything else isn't.

I'm going to get myself a turban. I think I'd look quite fetching.

I doubt this issue is going to a public vote, or indeed an AB survey , Why don't all you disgruntled abers start a petition ( I'm sure you will feel better) when an email to inappropriate department is sent . :-)

Ceremonial uniforms are rather anachronistic and belong to a different era. The forces should be up to date and battle ready.
There only function now is for acting and please the US tourists.
Scrap them all (Including the turban) and save the country a fortune.
