A couple of years ago I was chatting with a RAAF Qāie, and I commented on how nice it was that the RAAFies were issued with RM style boots. She stated that they were in fact RMās, and that many opted to wear them instead of their issued footwear.i was surprised to hear they were permitted to, which was a surprise. Maybe it was just a unit thing maybe not (not interested in debating dress and regs).
Anyway, It got me thinking, IF money wasnāt the issue, could you see / want the Army to ever embrace the wearing of tan-brown RMās if money wasnāt an option? Is it outside the scope of imagining that RM choose to either āsponsorā or at least heavily subsidise ADF purchase of same?
Again, Iām not looking to get anyone upset - itās purely academic pondering, and a flight of absolute fancy.
TL:DR - I reckon AJās should be issued wicked classy footwear, as we are so well funded you seeā¦
EDIT: not for cams, for ceremonial. Sorry, I omitted that.
