I kept it. I’m lazy and dislike messing with my hair when I could be off doing other things. Hair more than four inches long is a pain. I’d have gotten a high-and-tight, like the males, but the GMC that was one of my company commanders wouldn’t let me. Plus, this way, I only have to get a haircut once every four or five months. So I’ll get another one before we go underway again, and it’ll last me till December.
Practical - I think St Ronnie would prefer mine a bit longer, but I’m wearing a hardhat 12 twelve hours a day and it just doesn’t work ...
You topside and in the weather and wet and cold, or hot and sweaty and noisy in the engineroom, or freezing in the dark in radio or CIC?

This is the link to the Spanish Gala. The first performance starts at about 10 minutes in (after the introductions of the Dignitaries) and is a killer flamenco piece, music and dance. Then there’s a ballet.
My books from Ignatius Press came!
