I'm digging the old school Paras ... Pot-Belly Stallions! Much respect from a veteran of the American 75th Ranger Regiment (and Pot-Bellied Stallion as well). Sua Sponte men!
Why is the WO1 (RSM) wearing officers gloves? Have Regimental dress regulations been changed, or is he just 'coming the capers' because it's slightly chilly?
@@Fbo194 Not in The Parachute Regiment old son! At least they didn’t when I was RSM in 1997-9! And they didn’t when I completed my 28 years of service!!
Just checked ADR out of interest and it says for PARACHUTE REGIMENT: "29. Accoutrements WO1s: Sam Browne belts are to be dark tan in colour. Sword frogs are to be worn at all times with the Sam Browne belt. WO’s and SNCO’s: Red worsted sashes are to be worn by all Warrant Officers Class 2 and senior NCOs Red silk sashes are to be worn by Warrant Officers Class 1. " So apparently it's either a Sam Browne belt or a red sash! @@billperry7549
I did this way back in the 80s. With HQ COY 4 P. I remember the red devil landing in the car park on a car. Happy days.

WO1 wear Officer brown gloves and Sam Browne belt. WO2s do not.
