At least these 'people you work with' are getting the basics right then. That's virtue-signalling sorted.

Now to tackle your op capability, housing and retention!

It’s not binary. Given that sexism, racism and bullying was rife when I first joined and is much reduced now, I would call that a good thing. You know, high functioning teams. You should read about it and see why it’s a good thing.

Last time I checked, people weren’t leaving because they weren’t allowed to be tw@ts. It’s the other stuff which we are trying to address. The virtue signalling as you call it is easy, costs nothing and improves performance.

Apart from when the RAF hits the headlines for illegally discriminating against applicants based on their race and sex because some people wanted to take shortcuts to make a 'high functioning team'! Clearly more to do on the racism and sexism then old bean!

Then we can all comment on their appearance.

I have been nothing but complementary about the Lady and uniform in question.

And to put you straight, I shop at those well known Gentlemen’s outfitters, Oxfam, JD Sports and Primark, so please do not paint me as a Mail on Sunday shopper.

What does it matter what you look like if there are too few of you in the fight?

This is a RAAF variation. She doesn't have wings, but enough other things to be a pain in the butt to pin on.

I live 500m from the NL MOD Head Office, and regularly see uniformed staff in the area, so looking with interest to see if this makes a regular appearance.

I've been out for 12 years, I don't care what people wear, as long as the people serving now are happy, that's fine with me! And Dutch uniforms occupy my mind even less than UK uniforms.
