This years award for technical journalistic excellence goes to the Daily Mail.

Congratulations to Major Pip & Sgt Delamere-Wright.

Britain's only female Royal Marine Commando has ditched her standard military greens for gleaming wedding dress white.

Major Pip Tattersall, 37, married Sergeant Stuart Delamere-Wright of the Royal Dragoon Guards in a private ceremony at Glen Tanar Chapel in Royal Deeside.

Looks like she's wearing a gillie suit for arctic warfare not a wedding.

Cruel!!!!! :laughing3:

 

[silverfox]

was this the girl who achieved the technical 'pass' having completed the AACC in several stages?

and looking at the pics, I use the term 'girl' in its loosest sense..

 

[timex]

More shit journalism, does anybody vet these cretins....

 

[Waspie]

Hows about taking the cretins to a vet!!!

So why is she wearing a blue beret in the 3rd pic? (and why has he forgotten the braces for his trousers)

Here we go, stand by for the plethora of " a mate said", "I heards" and "DINs state" comments ref did she didn't she etc...... lets be honest, she looks no different than most bootnecks on a run ashore.

Because she's in the Army, specifically the AGC and would only wear the green beret when attached to 3 Commando Brigade.

Balls! I heard Cheryl Cole was the only female Royal Marine - previous for violence, racist remarks and looks good in a black dress (hoofin' PW too, apparently):

[And she's got her brown wings too, according to Andy B***r, her grippo!)

Yup, just like all the twits around here wearing theirs (no jealousy...) when we're a million miles from 3Bde...

Now, I'm only a lowly sundodger, but even I noted she didn't have a Royal Machine badge on her feret.

Here's a nice quote found at the bottom. Oddly enough, i didn't have to look that hard;

"15:39 Not that hard then if a woman passed. "P" Company-the best and the hardest for the best and the hardest. Utrinque Paratus.

I sit firmly on the fence here but from experience, wings do not a soldier make.

I also wonder how this chap would fare when put up against some of the ladies who have made it through SRR selection and also the vominator.

There it is. I've spent a lot of time with our airborne cousins and as much as i like them, some of them have a real spastic mentality.
