General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

the merchant navy hubbs, is a separate entity to the other services. let me add a couple more colours to your paint box.
take the last war for instance, when the army/navy/airforce personel were taken prisoner, their pay continued until liberation day, and eventualy their demob.
now consider this, if you are still with the post,...the moment the merchant vessel was hit and sunk, all crew members were of pay from then on???hows that for discrimination.
