1 R Welsh Recruits in Catterick

[BennytheBall]

Please don't think that I'm throwing the "Cat amongs the Pigeons, again" But are now to believe that the new "Regime" as I call it now have a standard dress code throughout all 3 Bn's Royal Welsh, same cap badge, Hackle, Collar badges and even to come the same colour of their respective Regimental Colours. ( Or have I missed the boat somewhere). So the dress code can't distiquish which Bn a soldier/Recruit is a member of?

I read into this with a very wide interest in the coming future.

i am not 100%, i will ask my Regimental Sergeant Major when im back in work on the dress code..........i am just pixxxx off that my son and other fusiliers , not privates are not wearing the correct uniform that there Bn wears, its not hard to get right. I think its because his instructors are RRW, 2 R Welsh... as for the new kind of colar dog, not known....My Fusiliers are still wearing the bombs, so he should wear them in my opinion however my son is wearing the old RRW colar dogs. the ones that they use to wear i.e silver circle with dragon inside.......... i will confirm with the RSM, the dress code, but i am 99.9% sure im right......Some people might think im making a drama out of nothing but i disagree i am very proud of my Regiment as my son is.

Dave.
your 100% right he should be wearing the bombs until the new collar tags come out. And yes the reason he had the others on, was probably peer preasure from his section commd in depot. This should stop

Benny, Regarding your comments on the new dress regs, the Collar Dogs and new cap badge are not out yet, they are due in the next few weeks and yes all 3 Bn's will wear the same. But as for now they wera their respective ones. I know that all the 1st Bn guys posted to the 2nd Bn wear the bombs and there has been no mention of us wearing the old RRW ones.

Dave, has your son asked the clothing stores in Catterick for the RWF bombs, i've already spoken to the civi storeman up there and he assures me he has them on his shelf!!!!

cheers Josk, i thought i was right..., you are right about peer pressure......i dont suppose you know who is suppose to be doing the Regimental shepard in catterick do you...because come april, 12 recruits are going to 2nd BN and only four are coming to us, it doesnt help when all the instructors in his Pl are 2nd bn.....they tried to poach him, but he knows better lol..

I "stand corrected", many thanks to you and the rest of the forum members' for bringing me up tp date on the dress issue, (looks like a bit of NCO do as I say, not as I do syndrome there, needs "nipping at the bud")
All the best to your son and his future career.

Hello All,
Keep up the good work. Or we will fall further back than a 5000/1 shot in the Derby. It will be hard work but do not let up and fight for your rights please.
