Australian Navy

Goodbye dear friends...I've had enough of these constant religious arguments on QL.. I've decided to go and join the Australian navy ...:o(

An investigation is under way in Australia over claims that navy sailors competed with each other to bed their female colleagues for cash prizes.

According to Channel Seven news, sailors on board HMAS Success put a cash value on each woman's head.

Sleeping with a female officer or a lesbian, or having sex in a strange place, won more money, the report said.

The Defence Department confirmed that a number of individuals had been sent back to Australia for interviews.

HMAS Success, which has a crew of 220, is currently on exercises in South East Asia.

This is why I love Aussies.. They are forthright..

An Australian Navy submarine commander is in trouble for suggesting women sailors wearing bikinis would boost recruitment.

Commander Tom Phillips also revealed the submarine equivalent of the "mile-high club" is the "going down club".

In an interview with men's magazine Ralph, he revealed the naval uniform works to "either pull a chick or get in a fight".

When asked: "If female sailors all had to be hot and had to wear bikinis, would that help recruitment?" the commander was quoted as replying: "It would certainly get the right demographic of young men in. I'm not sure how feasible it is, however."

The country's opposition and feminist groups have taken exception to the article, demanding action.
