Both just come off parade, UJ, although if you look closely I think the chap is just wearing a sword belt.
In my experience of training young officer cadets at Cranwell I can concur with the statement that amongst the women there were no 'middle roaders' just very very good or poor (all branches) whereas amongst the men there were plenty of grey men keeping their head down in the middle. There were, however, some outstanding young women who would clearly carve out a long and strong career if they stuck at it.
Well done.

PS. Interesting to note that the mud mover, female or not, has more operational medals than the AD chap!! And she has quite smartly and correctly got them all Court Mounted unlike OC II!!
