Agree wholeheartedly - makes a mockery of the 'no females in the combat arms' when you read her citation!

As for the lack of SH medals - could be one of two things. Firstly, the sterling work they are doing is now considered 'routine' and no longer out of the ordinary or, secondly, they have been poorly written up (or indeed, there hasn't been people to do the wirte ups). No 'green eyed jealously' here - it's always been the case that the other Services, in particular the Army, have always been far far better when it comes to writing up citations (be they either operational awards or peacetime awards). You would think the RAF would be better given the number of staff officers we have buried in JHC and Air Command! So much for the 'back home for tea and medals' - or is that the FJ mob!!!!!!
