Anyone know what the "rig" is in the officers mess in Faslane? Got a four day course up there and not sure if I need a jacket for dinner?

No idea about the Officers Mess - although I know OH who is a PO got told off for not wearing a long sleeved shirt with a collar in his mess the other day if that is any help?

Made me chuckle for ages - the things they tell off grown men for
