Thanks for all of the top comedy - PPrune at its best ![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
You have got to be having a laugh! Is that serious? What next, RAF Catering and RAF Pers Spt mudguards? ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies2/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Surely, if in the primary role it will be obvious who the Firemen are; you know the ones wearing string-vests, playing table-tennis/volley-ball or driving the big red eff-off fire engine?![Wink](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/wink2.gif)
Is this new to AP1358 or just made up on the hoof?

It reads 'Royal Air Force Fire & Rescue Service'

Thanks Melchett I thought it might be the CAS or somebody like that.
Funny thing, when I was in the RAF the CAS was always a really old bloke, nowadays they are obviously a lot younger.
Wonder why that is

On a personal level, I'm please that the 'Fistful of Lightning' sparks badge has survived. Albeit in a different form.
Don't forget to "check your privilege" and "call out" other examples of spurious -isms on these boards. Right before we all have our pay cut to achieve gender parity or indeed lose our jobs to fulfill the quotas for minorities! ![Bad teeth](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/badteeth.gif)
Some people actually use these terms...
