I've recently just got back into the mob as a reserve gunner after leaving as an ex tg3/4 about 4 years ago. The question is am I able to have the clutching lightning patch on my number 1's even though I'm out of trade?

thanks in advance
 
With out reading QR's late on a Sunday night, I think you can!

I've met crewmen who have re-traded and still get to wear it, and one even started life as a sim tech!
 
The answer is in AP1358 chapter 7 para0737.

The Telecommunications Badge is only worn by personnel in the trade groups listed. Therefore, if you are no longer in one of those trade groups you cannot wear it

It is considered a 'trade badge' rather than a 'qualification badge' - some of which can continue to be worn.
