Talk:Royal Naval Reserve

RNR SCC & CCF
I have edited the opening text to include the RNR CCF Officers that also wear the wavy stripes. As a former Sea Cadet and former member of a school Combined Cadet Force, it was evident that this type of rank was in existence. (Aquizard 09:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC))

DixDaxDox (talk) 13:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC)I have removed a sentence relating to the US Navy's approach to reservists on the grounds of irrelevance to the subject at hand (and it looked a bit out of place).

James Bond
I'm not going to waste my time posting this, as some prat will delete it for being "uncited" even though the source is blatantly obvious (watch the ruddy films), but ...

The article says that Bond is a RNVR commander in the original Fleming novels (quite possible, it's donkey's years since I've read them and I have no plans to reread them). But in the films, he is always shown wearing the straight stripes of a regular Royal Navy commander. Each actor normally does one film "in uniform" - Connery in "You Only Live Twice", Moore in "The Spy Who Loved Me", Brosnan in "Tomorrow Never Dies". In "Skyfall" we get to see the obituary of the Daniel Craig incarnation of Bond, but I don't recall whether it lists him as a RN or RNVR commander.

If somebody wants to post, and figure out a "citation" which will keep the drive-by prats at bay, be my guest.Paulturtle (talk) 13:34, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

And having just read the article I see that the "wavy" stripes were discontinued in the early 1950s. I'll get me coat.Paulturtle (talk) 22:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
