I am getting sick of seeing this in the NZDF as a whole... I don't know what has happening to the NZDF but it's morals have gone down hill since I left. Sort it out. The officer/crew member should not have been able to get away with this behavior in any form.

And while it does nothing for Jennifer now, I apologise that it happened, and if this had happened on my watch the person involved would have had fingers slammed in a hatch as is closed (by accident)
