Out of Uniform

Gents,

This formation's lack of shoe discipline is shocking and absolutely unheard of in a professional army. Just look at the range of stilettos being worn - such blatant disregard for military uniformity. Where will it all stop?

Regards,

slava1stclass

And those skirts...I think they are meant to distract the enemy.

Re: Out of Uniform

They are modern (RF) MVD officers - probably traffic cops. I don't remember seeing any beat cops dressed like this for any occasion other than maybe undercover in houses (whole buildings) of ill repute - namely the one just off Pushkin Square.

99.9% of traffic cops are men. These ladies are working in various office positions.

Re: Out of Uniform

Utterly shocking.
I am willing to pay my own way to go over there and give them all a stern talking-to !
