Captain’s mast for disruption of good order and morale - just like any other disruptive behavior onboard. I could nearly write the charge in my sleep 20 years back... ah, capt’s mast.

For some reason your image brought back this.......

At a Dem convention: "I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty.

I remember that, Kerry isn’t even saluting properly.

Shemya (Erickson Station) had to isolate the women stationed there because in the late 60’s and early 70’s female airmen became financially very successful. It became protocol to keep women from being stationed there for a few years before Carter was elected and PC went rampant.

This will add a new dimension to “hot bunking”...

I’m going to trademark the term “20,000 Fathom Club”.

I was talking about this with my uncle and some old guy, they just shook their heads.

Sexual tension in tight quarters is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered!

German Navy already has female submarine commanders.

In the USAF as soon as they test positive we had to pull them from all flight line/maintenance related duties. This was because of all the chemicals. I believe a sub would be worse because you are living in machinery.

Since they could not work the trainees had to be put in a hold status until they had the baby and returned to work. All told over a year.

German subs are diesel-electric so they don’t stray far from home waters. Ours can stay under as long as they have food.
