For 15 years she has proudly served her country as a Royal Navy engineer, risking her life in Afghanistan when she fought against the Taliban.

But far from showing Nicky Howse the respect she deserved as she flew back to her latest posting, Virgin Atlantic staff chose to humiliate her—by demanding that she remove her uniform because it was “offensive”.

They warned the 32-year-old helicopter technician she would not be allowed to fly unless she took off her combat fatigues and wore a sleep suit instead. …

They told her—wrongly—that it was the company’s policy not to allow military personnel to travel in uniform. …

Been busier that the proverbial three legged cat in a litterbox. My profile page blew up when Photobucket changed their style and I lost all the links then when FR came back from it’s crash nothing worked so I’ve been rebuilding it in my off time. Ya, been tracking the weather in the US. Weird. I have a pilot friend that flies for JetExpress and he tells me what he’s been going through. Ta for now ~ Janey

What I laugh about is these moronic liberals thinking she is good looking..Not even the make over they did on her helped..I guess that is as close to beauty as they can get..
