Good Day All,
A few of us were talking in the Officer's Mess the other day, and got onto the subject of swagger sticks. I did a search here but was unable to turn up anything of substance, as everything seems to focus on Drill Canes and Pace Sticks. Why did swagger sticks fall out of use? I can't even find a reference to them in the Dress Instructions, which for a once standard and very widely used item I feel is a little odd.
After speaking with the Adj, he said he'd be all for "bringing it back" - but I wanted to vet it amongst the users here to see what the consensus was. I have a feeling Michael O'Leary (amongst others) might be able to sort me out with regards to use, and the discontinuation thereof, but lets hear it!
Cheers!
