 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Now the RAF has to offer pilots VEGAN boots!

The Best Vegan Combat Boots in 2021

Top brass ordered to amend military dress policy after helicopter technician objects to leather safety boots

  • A technician at 7 Squadron RAF had a dispute with Ministry of Defence 
  • They refused to wear leather safety boots and wanted vegan clothing instead
  • New guidelines ensure requests are made on 'deeply philosophical beliefs'
  • Airman says it is 'noble' but asks if the devotion is 'compatible with military life'
  • MoD said the Armed Forces are not concerned about 'vegan-compliant clothing'

They may be ordered to rain death and destruction upon the enemy. But RAF aircrew who are vegan could soon carry out their duties with a clear conscience – knowing their uniforms are free of leather or wool. Top brass have been ordered to amend military policy on dress after a landmark request from a helicopter technician who objected to leather safety boots.

Following the test case, any RAF personnel who refuse standard service issue clothing will be provided with vegan boots, shoes, berets, trousers, jumpers and socks where possible. The Army and Royal Navy could be forced to follow suit.

A technician at 7 Squadron RAF had a dispute with Ministry of Defence after refusing to weather leather safety boots. They instead wanted dress standards to be amended so they appease vegans.Tens of thousands of military personnel currently wear berets made of wool and leather as well as leather boots, while other clothing items worn on parades such as trousers and jumpers are also woollen.

The dispute between the technician at 7 Squadron RAF and the Ministry of Defence has resulted in dress standards being amended to appease vegans – presently just 1.6 per cent of the UK population. The new guidelines, which include grilling all applicants for vegan clothing to ensure requests are based on deeply held ‘philosophical beliefs’, are contained in an internal memo obtained by the MoS.

and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
