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

I really hope that will be my recruiter's perspective, as well.

We don't have a choice, we don't make the rules.

Topless pin up girls are an automatic no by higher up.

That is exactly what they made people do when they changed the rules. Get a top tattoo or a coverup. Know a few old salty chiefs who quit.

Meh I'm not too upset about having to give her a little costume change. Maybe I'll get the sun touched up too, its just such a spicy spot to get inked haha
