They can spend many BILLIONS of pounds on the dole for foreign immigrants, but a couple hundred thousand for soldiers will break the bank? Sounds like our country.
“I take a 30JJ size bra and for 20 years I’ve had to go out and purchase decent support myself.”
I think she chose the wrong profession.
TTIUWOP.
Holy crap. Last thing I’d wanna do is provide my bra size on some stinkin’ list maintained by/accessible to the mostly males in the platoon office. Besides, a government issue version of a bra? No thanks, I expect better satisfaction from the private market.
I think the attention-starved female quoted in the article only wanted to broadcast her ridiculous proportions - if that’s an accurate quote at all. Yikes, that’s gonna interfere with life no matter what your chosen profession, kid.
This initiative could definitely hold things up!
This is the profession I choose therefore you MUST meet my needs and by the way there are a couple of days a month when I have cramps so don’t say mean things to me.
Gives a whole new meaning to D-Day.
If the current bras do not provide enough support for them to do their jobs they should be given better ones. I dont see the problem here.

Why is this a problem? Why are they even there?
Perhaps they should just admit that men and women are different and were never intended to do these rigorous duties in the first place.
I remember talking to women in the military 25 yrs. ago who told me the crappy quality of their GI underwear was one of their major headaches.
given all the money wasted by defense departments in the world, this is a reasonable request and not that costly. it’s why some soldiers don’t wear underwear in the field, just too uncomfortable. of course the hard part would be choosing the appropriate camouflage pattern.
