Totally agree with the OPWhen I was in HMS Scylla my wife went to one of these gatherings. Once.
With regard the Damage Control training the simulator is actually quite good fun, as long as you do it in the summer.
In fact I'd rather do that than the Dunker (as mentioned above).
What's the difference between a wren and a shit?
A shit doesn't follow you around for a fortnight after you've had it.
And yes, the wife was a wren.

My friend was Petty Officer at Culdrose. Could have gotten further but his dislike of authority sort of sabotaged it.Told me of the time a Sea King pilot told him he hadn't accurately calibrated the radar altimeter properly as it said 100 metres and the guy reckoned it was clearly 110.
The reply 'Fuck off' earned him a disciplinary.
