Navy gets more flotation

They were additional personal floatation devices, there was no mention of what the males had though LOL

Amazing how the media can get hold of something like this and highlight it way out of context.

There are over 50,000 members in the military and as part of the package they get free (taxpayer funded) health care. The report says there were 2 women who were treated to address psychological issues and suddenly it is all over the press. Wonder how they will feel now!

I would think that many thousands of women around the country would have this procedure done, and yes they would pay for it themselves or claim medical benefits insurance where possible.

The fact that these 2 women are defence personnel and got it paid for by taxpayer funds does not matter to me as long as the approriate assessments were done that it was actually warranted to "address psychological issues" and was not just for "subjective appearance reasons".

If it suddenly became the norm and there were hundreds of defence women doing it then yes - questions would be raised. Until then it is only 2 women and it is probably highly embarrasing to them for a confidential medical procedure to be discussed in the public domain.

Probably a few sub-editors sitting around at the moment though, trying to come up with that perfect Headline!

Two 45s are better than two 22s

Hi Bruce and Anne

I too may get blasted out of the water for this reply, but I'm with you on this one.
I can understand downsizing (back troubles etc) but upsizing, forget it!!!
No way can they say this was a genuine procedure, no way!
If they wanted them bigger then they should have paid for it themselves and not jumped on the "freebies" that is associated with all the armed services.

If they had them done to "address psychological issues" then a shrink would've been more a appropriate.
And...............
If they in fact have "psychological issues" over their boobies then they shouldn't be in the service and certainly not in a commanding role.

I'm all for women and men doing the stuff outside the usual "gender c*ap roles" that society have previously boxed us into but if they can't hake it then get the hell out and let someone else get in there and do the job!

Good point Shaker!!!

Seems like it is one of those topics that you might get into trouble for commenting on. But anything bigger than mouth size is a waste. LOL

Bugga! Bugga! Bugga!

Spent the last 40 years in emotional turmoil, I always wanted a bigger thingy. Now its too late to join the navy.....lol

Cheers....Lionel.

if there that unstable about their tit size and its causing pyscholgical problems they shouldnt be in the navy.

I reckon they might get a lot of recruitment applications now, mainly from less endowed women.
great recruiting strategy .
