RN Technician Barred from Wearing Fatigues on Virgin Flight
Discussion
Setting aside the fact that these types of dailymailesque stories are full of crap and hyperbole, why was she wearing fatigues in the first place to go on a routine flight when not on duty? A smart uniform maybe, but fatigues? This type of person sounds like an attention seeker wanting to be seen in public as the big military bks. All her talk of protecting the country...erm you're on a return flight to LA. Your headed back to work but it might as well as be a flight to Ibiza for your holidays or a fancy dress party. I know guys who work in the mines in Oz, they don't wear their miners' gear when flying home or back to work. As someone who was so upset at being asked to change , I don't think she's the quite the Rambo she she likes to dress up as on her days off. As a passenger my only objection would be having to sit next to a passenger who is apparently full of st.

Well, everyone is welcome to express their opinion. Heading to the US, where being in a service uniform is a good thing, people say hi and respect is shown. No wonder she was in costume, besides, hey it is her job.
I do however think that G4S/flight manager's attititude to what she was wearing was wrong, she was not a threat to safety and as far as I am concerned it is acceptable dress to wear.

More to the point I expect this has caused her more than a few problems with her senior officer, I bet she gets a talking to about this.
Raises the question, Was it her who moaned to the Press or a well meaning friend, family member or even a member of the public ?
Is she fit ? is she able to kick ass ?
Last questions for benefit of PH

Odd story. When I was in the RN you could travel in uniform but it wouldn't be "fatigues". I don't know anyone that would choose to travel in uniform. You normally can wait to get it off and wear civi's.
That's the feeling I get from people in the military, it'd be like wearing your school uniform at the weekend.Getragdogleg said:

Although being 'so distressed' and 'shaking with rage' seems a bit hyperbolic.
Surely she's trained to deal with tougher situations than this as part of her job.
