They are great over there. But they have a little hang up about sailors being gay, and they don't take a response too well - especially when you point out that the first two civil ceremonies performed for the Armed Services have been SOLDIERS!
See, gay bum-bandit SOLDIERS. Not sailors, but HOMO SOLDIERS. Now you know why they like living on camp (see - CAMP!). Why do you think they are so concerned about kit? Not because it's good, but in case it makes their ARRSE look big. All this macho bonding is a cover for them to take their shirts off and hug each other.
