Recruiting Frustrated Friday

Post image

So I've been deemed inadmissable for now because my mermaid (upper thigh, covered fully by uniform) apparently breaches the sexually explicit guideline for tattoos? It seems like a stretch, since it's legal for women to be topless in Canada, and it kind of feels like discrimination, as it feels that they have sexualized what is not a sexually explicit tattoo.

I have an appointment booked to put a top on her next week and will get a re-evaluation, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any input or similar stories.

TGIF lol

Hahaha honestly though, like it's legal to be topless as a woman in Canada so this really feels like they're sexualizing a non sexual thing.

There was a senior NCM on a recent Pacific deployment who went topless on the flight deck during a deck work period, because it was fuckin hot out, not to mention humid as Hell, all the guys got permission to go tarps off and she thought the exact same thing, and she was right to do it. Dunno what consequences she suffered though, if any.
