Canada Navy history made

Well, as I am on the ship, I have a new CO. The first female CO of a Canadian major warship.

Congratulations. I think it's a big step forward, particularly in view of the recruiting problems navies are experiencing -everywhere it seems.

We've had a woman chief commissioner of police here in the State of Victoria for five or six years. Christine Nixon. She's just retired after a pretty successful two terms - although she did encounter some entrenched opposition from the Police Association (police officer's union).

Just out of curiosity, is she refered to as 'The old man' or 'the old lady'?:D:D

Time will tell on this. She doesn't look very happy in the pic in the Trident newspaper.
