When 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.

The reply 'Fuck off' earned him a disciplinary.
