Oh goody, the Mail - amongt other gems in that article, the 2 that really leap out are her attendance at the University of Herefordshire, and her stint as a seagoing Public Works Officer. The mind boggles - anyone know what the entry requirements are for this PWO thing? - might have to rejoin.....

[QUOTE=on Ark in 2003 I had 25 girls working for me and with just a couple of exceptions they beat the lads hands down, and may I add we were at war!![/QUOTE]
Just out of interest Stan, what job were they doing? A male work colleague of mine (ex officer) said the lasses were better than the lads in the Ops room and Comms.
Anyway, well done to Commander Sarah West in breaking the glass deckhead.Dreaming the dream; living the nightmare.
