The general advice I would have given as an IO to a trainee is that I would not want them to be first out or unaccompanied on an expedition onto a live track. As a post Chief I would still endorse this course of action.
My regular post has a lot of live track action, but since I'm the responsible adult, I still prefer it kept to a minimum and controlled as much as possible. There have been many many arguements about what level of protection a flappy bit of yellow cotton provides.
Different Post chiefs/IOs/Circuits/grades of meeting will have different thresholds for positive or passive reaction. You should be awere of this by now Guinness, and able to reflect on why you were getting what you think of as mixed messages.
If you did a lot of BTCC to begin with, nuff said.
