Royal Netherlands Air Force - Trial Alternate Daily Uniform For Females

[RAFEngO74to09]

Alternate Daily Uniform Trial involving 100 females - modelled here by a 48-year old 3-star who is currently Deputy Director General of the Directorate General Policy (DGB) having previously been Deputy Commander of the Air Force as a 2-star and Commander Defense Cyber Command as a 1-star - so not a lightweight stacker, scribbly or dentist!

Mighty fine lookin' gal!

[stumpey]

She has all those iny and outy bits!

[Bob Viking]

Hmm.

And they say we live in enlightened times.

Come on fellas, if you have nothing constructive to say about the uniform trial it might be best to keep your thoughts to yourself.

My thoughts are that, if a military force can come up with a uniform that is less crap, easier to care for and can still look smart then I’m all for it. The RAF scratchy woollen uniforms jump to my mind.

Wot - no pockets?

[Less Hair]

The shoes look much to high the rest is quite okay.

[Bengo]

If it is an everyday uniform, why is it not being modelled in an everyday stance? The full double teapot stance distorts the hang, line and fit.

And there might just be a pocket hiding behind the left hand?

Could be. Where would pens go, though? Or perhaps everything's digital these days.

Relaaaaax snowflake!

For my money she's smokin' hot! Hair needs sorting though - it's alles uber den platze and looks untidy.

That's General Elanor Boekholt-O’Sullivan - must be some Irish ancestry with the surname O'Sullivan.

I rather think you fell for that .......... somebody was bound to say something on those lines, and someone was bound to react. Perhaps the good lady [sorry, woman] might like the praise, and does not need defending against non-existent dispraise.

For a weather guesser I think that this time you're about right. There will always be a proportion of people who can't think outside their underwear.

I think that the uniform looks very smart on her. I'm no expert but how will it look on women of different proportions. Flattering or functional?

[Stitchbitch]

Looks much better than those security guard uniforms that the RAF was looking at a year or two ago. The Dutch are always well ahead when it comes to uniform practicality. Flight suit for work? No problem, Camo PJs? Tick VG.

Thankfully BV, the RAF that you were in and I’m currently in has moved on. Showed these comments to some of the people I work with. I didn’t realise how many times you could fit dinosaur into a sentence.

[langleybaston]

Just had a flashback of about a year to the photo of a male sergeant on this forum who looked like a sack of sh1t and a lot of folk piled in and said so.

Not sure what to make of current attitudes.

[PICKS135]

Why do females need an alternate daily uniform ? Surely normal uniform [trousers/shirt] does the job for everybody ??

[Walter28]

Isn`t that Sophie Raworth from the BBC?

Born in Ireland to an Irish father.

Sad to say, those with a fuller form would have that form accentuated with associated feelings and comments.
