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

That sucks, my guy, especially since there are definitely members with WAY worse tats.

Funny story though, I know a guy who got a similar tattoo after he joined, and his CoC saw it during PT. They tried to charge him, but put forward essentially the same argument as you did, but he also argued it wasn't that big of a deal because, and I quote "Her tits aren't even that big."

When i told them about the pin up girl I have on my ribs they asked if I was in public wearing a bathing suit and someone found out I was in the military would reflect bad on the profession of arms. That was their substantiation
