I see Midshipman are now considered Commissioned Officers according to the latest DIN and will get their parchment.
My favourite Midshipman moment was in the Caribbean - involved Rum, White Tropical Uniforms, some US ladies off a cruise liner who were much older than me and .... well a gentleman never tells (unless on a dit session).
Also, without doing the ARRSE is better thing, they do have forums for Officers, Seniors and Juniors. Could we consider that for Rum Ration. Wardroom, Senior Rates and Junior Rates. Allow people to post topics that are pan RN/RM but more rate/rank specific.
Everyone is welcome to read/post in each but it does allow threads to be more targeted.
Just a thought, what do people think.
