Hi Vis Belts For All

[Entropy]

Beer at the bra......Now that's new.

Mr SCJ

Is this a lowbrow version drinking champagne from a ladies slipper?

Not really, it's the nickname of the bar area at AUAB. The marquee looks like an upturned bra, hence the name.

Stage 2

It's in preparation for turning all the lights out on base.

Another thing we seem to have picked up from the yanks!! Yes in the dark, yes in Afghan where there are no pavements. But on a camp that has lighting and paths and daylight....really? But it won't look silly as everyone will have one on

Idea time........

Why not combine the Stable belt with this new Hi-Viz Belt?

It could have a special power source (Pico?) generated by the energy produced by walking etc. Luminence levels created by each user (With a date / time / Name & Number stamp) are captured by energy meters located around the unit (Monitored by someone of at least Squabbling Bleeder level who populates a speadsheet with lots of pretty conditional formatting).

So then we all look like c*nts but get our exercise quota in at the same time.....

*Slopes off to find a GEMS form.............

Wouldn't the Snec one overload from static induced from Farrah slacks?

True. The WAF ones would probably fail as well due to excessive vibration from the super powerful Love Eggs they all carry around in their wizards sleeve.......

One dark n dingy night many moons ago during the first gulf shopping expedition, I remember being very very grateful for my reflcto belt. Being the weapons pin biatches me and my mate were walking across a very big, dark and isolated aircraft pan, when a 'State 2' was declared. I can clearly remember the bellow of the American crash machines hammering down the pan, headlights blending in with every other panside light The crash wagons went either side of us and were well sh1ttening.

Walking from the mess to the block however doesn't seem as health and safety hazardous. Ah well, new model Air Force I suppose.

If this is true, it's total w@nk and a gross waste of money, end of.

 

[Jamstercat]

I can categorically confirm that this is true. 1200 have arrived on this soon to close unit pending personal issue. I do have reservations of how it will look when we are in our No1 HD on parade! No doubt there will be a list of exclusions in SROs of when the belt is not to be worn.

Next....we will have to wear the belt with civvy clothing when walking around camp!!

 

[Spearmint]

If it is true, I give it a week before this ends up in "The Daily Heil" as yet another 'H&S Gone Mad' report.........

 

[Sniffer]

I feel a freedom of information request to establish which department came up with this idea. Together with asking for the evidence that not wearing one is a major cause of RTIs

 

[ady eflog]

Well from wearing one at the premier desert base for 4 months I hope they bought a shedload as the reflective band rubs off in about 4 months. I hope they enforce it more than the current SRO's that states anyone cycling around camp must wear Hi Viz. I almost left the RAF with 1 less rock ape last week, he was cycling around camp in his PCS in the fog. I have an email to collect mine from clothing stores on Wednesday. joy.

 

[Rigga]

...so, the only people truly working without advertising their presence, and apparently in secret, will be the Civvies?

Only time and a rising accident rate will govern if it is safer to wear these belts or not. Good Luck - and don't forget there's a whole airfield out there...without a dayglo stripe on it.

 

[Elwood]

I remember (swings Tilley*) when MT cars were painted green they had a yellow stripe put on so people didn't bump in to them. What's different about this? *Tilley is an old style lamp we used to use when camping.

1n 1973 I was posted to RAF Honnington but was billeted at Barnham Camp.
We were given orange armbands to wear when walking into nearby Thetford (in civvies) as a road safety precaution.
No one wore them but this is not a new idea,
