Fg Off MPN11 rang Bukit Gombak to protest ... Sqn Ldr Auntie Joan heard my protest, and her response ended with something like "If you don't like it you can fork orf". Perhaps I should have phrased my objections more subtly?
Bless her ... a legend in her own lifetime, and a seriously Proper Officer.
As are, of course, many other senior female officers. And male senior officers.
As are many wastes of space in the officer ranks, of any Branch or gender
