What, and you are surprised? Wake up and smell the coffee shipmate. The Navy is, after all ........ the Navy. Happened in my days and it's bound to happen in days to come. Don't whine about it, just get on and accept it, because if you don't. Boy, are you going to get upset.

PS Pecry is always in a hole. Leave him to it. :wink:

If they had been black chicks they would have been in the navy news, I thought we all accepted the fact that a good minority action phot is much more acceptable to it's readership than a good punch up.
When will they realise that most NN readers are serving or ex matelots who would rather hear about what's REALLY going on in the fleet and not "Oh look at us, we employ blacks and women, how thoroughly modern we are".
Stick to soldier of fortune.

The RN admits that in the past it has been terrible at self publicisation, but has maintained over the last five to ten years that "we are getting better".

My concern is that if we don't hurry up and produce some tangible results we will find ourselves a small reserve force manning a couple of small patrol boats which sail round the Isle of Wight.
