What to do though, I remember well my SSM on a parade in 1994/5 . Checking the dress standards of my troops on parade before the C.Os inspection. They /we were in bloody barrack dress, so shiny trousers and wooly pulleys.
He came up to a female and she had some “lint” on her wooly pulley. So he has to say.
”You have something on your dress, I will touch your ............ chest area to remove it”.
And he did , wonder if she would be trying to cash in on the metoo?
That’s nothing odd, happens with men too. Our DL at Lympstone always used to say “I’m going to touch you now”, if about to remove a bit of fluff etc.
