Ah, RSMs being RSMs - now outside the teeth arms, ostensibly they represent the top of the soldier tree, but are reduced to being staff pukes following the Col, or as 'Cap Badge' Branch RSMs, some General or another - just an American inspired sop to them. There's no real role for them here; they know it and don't like it. We need RSMs not more staff pukes!
Typical of the modern age; find something which ain't broke; break it anyway in the name of progress!
WO1's normally wear Officer pattern Service Dress with the Sam Browne cross shoulder belt ,as Sir Dickie is wearing , WO2's wear a sash if they have passed the All Arms Drill Instructor course ,normally a slightly better quality sash than Sgt / SSgt issue.
I was in the Army from 1989 - 96 & 2 years TA service , back then you got slaps from the NCO's if you f****ed up. My first CSM was SAS trained , I started with the RAMC.
RSM Lauderdale: Let me tell you. Theres no alteration, no celebration. No argumentation, no qualification in this mess that escapes my eyes! Read, learn, and inwardly digest!
I love how he obviously couldn't even se the private saluting
