@JAFO, working, whatever uniform the military have assessed as appropriate for whatever duty they are carrying out. When drafted in to assist with the roll out of a national vaccination I suggest camouflage uniform is not the most appropriate uniform to wear in a village hall when dealing with the general public.
As I said, IMO, the objective of encouraging people to come and be vaccinated is best achieved by making people comfortable in surroundings they are at ease in. Best achieved, I would argue, by meeting previous experience of going for an injection. As I said, not everyone is comfortable with the military, or the police. You and I clearly are comfortable with it.
If I was taking decisions I would have them in NHS type uniform, if for some reason that was not possible it would not be what many will see as combat kit.
It's only an opinion. I have no idea whether it will have any impact, or not. What I can say is that we arrived 3 hrs before my appointment and 5 or 6 hours before Jane's. We were both taken there and then. Maybe the military chased them all away.
