    My appolgies for offending anyone it was not inteded that way! Thank-you for correcting my misunderstanding on that different regiments had different lengths for the length of the sporran. I had look at some different vintage photos and noted the length on those. My recently deceased uncle was a Gordon Highlander in the 60's.
    Again my appologies for the offence though not intended. I will be more prudent in future.

    Ah, yes. And quite possibly ended up having to pose for a photo like this because he came to the attention of the RSM a bit too often. :mrgreen:

    What is a NAAFI? As a 17+ year squid and the Navy equivalent of a CSM for a purple unit I know a lot of military speak but that is a new one to me.

    As someone said above that CSM has been around the block a few times and so however he chooses to wear the uniform, be it by regulation or not, is the Correct way .
