This only lasted for a few years before the NSR also switched to gold.
The SCPOS navy already wear an officer tunic with eight buttons opposed to four. Wasn't always the case though but there are some guys pictured on the FB page. Mate of mine got promoted recently and it was the first thing I slagged him off over as he was wearing the wrong tunic.
WOs wear an officers style badge, where SCPOs wear a senior ratings badge, given the rank wasn't even a recognised rank outside of the Supplies branch as its an army equitable rank , up to the 80's and and again SPO is a 'Q' rank, there was always some derision over this.
I think the warrant officers uinform, rank markings and capbadge should have remained unique.
SPOs have worn the CPOs badge for many years now,at least 30!
