New cap badge...

I see that the Regiment is to/has been given a new cap badge, is it being worn yet/ when does it come into effect?

Have you a picture.

The new cap badge is due in very shortly (a matter of days). Bri

Sure,
its a Rupert one mind, but the OR`s one is made of white metal, I do however believe that there is also a Bronze issue again for the grown ups.

I`m joining the 3rd.

I`ve had a look on Ebay, and there is no shortage of the new badges on there, but there not cheap mind!!!:wacko:

Guys, stay away from the e-bay stuff as it is not official issue ... it can't be as the new badge has not been commissioned by the clothing project team at the MoD. The design is complete and the e-bay items are a good attempt (I've seen it in the flesh) but the real one will be different. You won't be able to wear a new one until all personnel are able to be issued - so don't buy anything - you'll get the real thing free soon enough.

Don't be so quick to knock being in the TA the ARABs will do that soon enough. :winker:It takes commitment to do two jobs and give up weekends and holidays.:yes:

No one has knocked the TA's. I think everyone on this Forum recognises the contribution they make to the Forces. They to have shed blood in Iraq and Afghanistan

Bit of gentle humor Paul from some one who has had his feet in both camps.
