Urgent News - Rts Halton & Name Tags
OK, we've finally cracked under the immense pressure!
The subject of labelling your clothes on RTS is now taking up 70% (it seems) of the course and most of the wiggly-amps on this site. So much so that AMAC has set up a company for 'RAF-approved labels' (don't know who approved them - RTS didn't!)
The requirement for labels to be sewn into pants and socks etc has now stopped! This will free up many hours of fiddly work.
That's the good news. Now the bad.
To stop you all jumbling your socks and shreddies together (if you intend to share a washing machine load) you are advised to bring a laundry bag (mesh bag) capable of holding a few pairs of socks and pants - 24 ins by 24 ins should do. If you cannot find one, an old pillowcase will do. Hopefully the Spar Shop will be stocking them in the New Year.
You could also do with a marker pen so you can write in the kit that has a name lable already in it. (tee shirts, shirts jackets and trousers).
Of course if you want to label your personal gear, feel free.

On this one potential recruits, there is such a thing as a military issue laundry bag (honestly, NSN and everything), got one myself and they're pretty handy, fit loads in, can be put through the wash no problem and last forever; have a look around for 'em.

Only snag with the issue one is that it's massive!
There are a number of websites (google Laundry bag) selling 24 inch square jobbies, about a fiver each. That one will do
Of course, if embroidery is your thing, stick with labels!
you can get them for £1 in you local pound shop. (I got 2 for £1)

Don't you RAF guys get issued laundry bags?

Take a wild guess!
i would not recommend people thinking they wont be sewing name tags on there socks!
i am currently in training and am part of the intake that don't have to sew name tags on there socks and such. there still are other things we have to sew name tags on!
The intake in after us has had to sew there names on everything again! so i would not go across thinking you will not have to because you could be very disappointed!
by the way to any one starting soon the training is amazing very enjoyable hard work but well worth it only home a day and a half and miss it!

This is Faff similair to IOT with naming all boxes in cuboards, socks labelled and all stacked with the smile facing up, Don't you just love recruit training lol. I might volunteer to be a flight commander for my next tour as I need a laugh.
