Only if you have past the high ropes course first...

So as single airmen and single air women accommodation are segregated to prevent fraternisation (something i always thought was pathetic ) do they now have a mixed Gay and Lesbian block, and single one person accommodation for the Bi sexuals?

Almost got in trouble one day at work when I got pounced on by some equal rights operative. I was stopped in the corridor and asked the question "What does LGB mean to you". I immediately responded "smart bombs, CEP, designators etc.".

I was then on the receiving end of a tirade about Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB!) rights before I pointed out that the question was "what does it mean to me", and I was working on a project involving stores management at the time.

Both the Navy and the Army will be steering well clear of this one, if the light blue are recognised as the top Lesbian recruiter that only leaves the GBT categories to lay claim to

I'm sorry. You are correct, of course. I'll have a strong word with myself...

The TLA LGB? I'm sure, as a newly appointed senior bucket at Binnsworth introduced himself as such, LGB stands for Large Gut Bucket.

I do not believe it!

I have had to edit this post so many times that there is nothing left that will get past the mods.

Regarding the links to the US Navy kiss and now this reference to the RAF it reminds me of how homosexuality was an unlawful offence where the offenders would be imprisoned, NCO's also reduced in rank and all offenders would then be discharged. Now we could say the exact reverse applies... If this behaviour is criticised then the offenders can face imprisonment and discharge from the service.

What a Topsy turvy World but thank goodness we do not have to see pictures of two hairy sailors tickling each others tonsil!!!!!!

Interesting thought. It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that Mitt Romney might be the next US president. As he is a big wheel in the Mormon church (a bishop I believe) which is implacably opposed to homosexuality, I wonder how he would reconcile his church position with the de facto office of commander in chief of the US armed forces, which accept it.

Would appear out of all the Companies in the UK the RAF ranks 56th in the league with the Royal Navy coming up the rear at 77th.
The British Army however appears not to be able to get it up onto the top 100.

I dont get it, surely we should be recruiting the best people for the job, gay, straight, black, white, whatever!
Why have we got recruitment teams specifically targeting certain groups? Targets are being set and standards lowered to meet them, all in the name of the Pc brigade.
