Iwaddle - Though I have not filed into RVSM lately - I have flown in it with the ATC's permission and like advised - I was sure to let them know that I was not properly equipped.

The Military gets a a free pass. They are covered under one of the 5 exceptions to the rule. Another is when doing flight test for first time RVSM approval.
