First Woman to Captain the Queens Guard


Thanato

Recommended Posts

When Captain Megan Couto calls out her oh-so-familiar drill commands on Monday morning, she will make history.

At 24 years old and five foot two-and-a half tall, she will become the first woman to command the Queen’s Guard in its 180 years at Buckingham Palace.

Captain Couto, who serves with the Second Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (2PPCLI), will be the face of equality in the armed forces: taking on responsibility for the ceremonial Changing of the Guards before any British woman has even been allowed into the infantry.

No problems with a woman doing the job (so long as she was appointed on merit, and not just to tick a box in a political incorrectness file).  

Just so long as she is not a Brummie*.   Brummies should on no account ever be put in any position of importance or authority.  Cos they talk funny and you just can't take them seriously.  Ever.   :D 


* someone from Birmingham - for all you equally funny talking colonials ;) 


Edit: just seen she's a Canadian.   But that's okay.  Cos they don't talk nearly as funny as Brummies :)
