Stopping the abolition of the Armed Forces electronic "blueys" .
Rejected

What the petition asks
The armed forces serve in some of the most dangerous and remote parts of the world and electronic Blueys are a vital morale boosting service that keeps our armed forces personnel in contact with loved ones when facing the real dangers that they may not return home
I served in the RN before electronic Blueys were introduced and can tell everyone that messages from home are the best morale boosting method anyone can provide. The electronic bluey makes that communication almost instantaneous even when serving in the most remote parts of the world .
