Congratulations, ma'am🪻

She is only a Lieutenant Commander even after so many years of service?!

[@FuriousFire898]

So? Commander is one of the highest ranks in the Navy. My gramps was commander of the sea cadets after 50 years

[@frank-ko6de]

@@FuriousFire898 No wonder your military is stale and stagnant. Our 4 star officers in every branch are required to leave after 40 years to make room for the younger and upcoming leadership. Deluded ridiculous nonsense. Hahahaha.

@@FuriousFire898 commander is around the middle of the navys ranks and thats the sea cadets, its alot easier to rank up than the navy, and most commanders/captains in the sea cadets are in the navy

this is what women empowerment should be... not that pride movement and sh**.. well done sis... love from 🇮🇳

[@frank-ko6de]

Why does it take so long to earn promotions in your Navy? Perhaps, that's why your military is so stagnant. One is easily a Major or Lieutenant Commander within the American armed forces by age 33. You need to manage your best resources(your people and personnel) better...😶😶😶

[@EDProductionsYT]

Nothing to do with that,because the Royal Navy is so much smaller than the US navy there is less requirement for higher ranks meaning less people get promoted to them so ranks like Lt Cdr are considered high ranks

[@frank-ko6de]

@@EDProductionsYT So, how do you maintain readiness in time of conflict when you have people ill prepared to lead or command? Size or lack thereof should never be excuse stagnation, which is what the Royal Navy has undergone really over 40 years, since the end of the Falklands war and now, the chickens are coming home to roost, as a result of those decisions.

@@frank-ko6de the RN does the best it can with government cuts and limitations it’s not their fault

[@frank-ko6de]

@@EDProductionsYT Regardless of whose fault it is, how do you maintain readiness for any conflict?

​@@frank-ko6dethe UK armed forces were recently deemed "not ready" for a full scale war / defence. So yeah, not great 😐
