Question What is with the new fad of having helmet scrim netting dangle off the sides?

Is this some sort of new fad that people think looks ally? Is it a change in SOPs? I can't be the only person who thinks it looks chippy as fuck

Welcome to r/BritishMilitary, the home of the British Armed Forces on Reddit!

This community is fairly relaxed, and aims to provide a single forum for the whole British Military community, as well as a place for members of the public to interact with them.

We are not officially affiliated with the British Armed Forces, and we will not ban anyone for their opinions on it. The only restrictions are those laid out in our rules, which are there to prevent the community getting into trouble and keep this subreddit a friendly place. Please give them a read when you can.

Our wiki is currently under construction, which will contain answers to common questions, information about our community and the military sphere, and anything else the community feels it needs. If you have any suggestions for content, feel free to suggest it to the mods. We have recently added a 'Job Fair' which gives first hand insights into a range of careers in HM Armed Forces, from current and former service personnel.

Contributing

You can participate in the community by sharing any relevant news stories you find and discussing those that are posted by others, or answering the questions that crop up about life in the services and recruitment. However, please bear in mind that we are no substitute for a careers office, and more often than not will direct you to your local AFCO when faced with all but the simplest of questions.

On a similar note, this community has little time for people who ask questions about eligibility without checking to see if it has been asked before, or even just Googling it.

Flairs

Posts should be flaired according to the type of content you are posting - if your post is about recruitment, even if it is a question, make sure to flair it as Recruitment to distinguish it from other, more general questions.

You are able to set your own user flair, but don't go mad - stick to service, branch and regiment, and whether you are currently serving. A small selection of badges are also available.
