How do some women continue to be granted compensation on numerous grounds?
Here we have a serving female Chief Petty Officer, who doesn't go to sea, and the Navy who obviously wants a Warrant Officer who can serve at sea.
But because the Navy only wants to promote someone that can serve at sea, she sues the Navy for by-passing her promotion.
Obviously the cash strapped Navy have found it necessary to pay Warrant Officer rates for a person to do a particular job, and if that means they must have sea going experience, then that should be enough.
