Because having men and women on the same ship has worked out soooooo well.
that we even have this office is sad.
The hallway was so narrow I and the oncoming person had to turn sideways to get past; there was no way to pass a person without your groin/pelvis rubbing up against the other person's groin/pelvis.
What could go wrong?
Are they going to do equal work? I don’t think there are that many women in the Navy with the strength to do necessary labor aboard a sub with issues.
This is a terrible idea and plan. Terrible.
The scavenger hunts on halfway night will never be the same.
I had a good friend that was a career submariner, and he used to fill me in on the strange character of the crews and the environment of living on top of each other for months, and how some personalities had to be removed from this strange, exotic, sealed can of intimate human relationships that is unknown to normal humans.
Introducing some 19 year old estrogen filled teen girls is going to wreak havoc, end careers, and ruin families.
Sorry ladies...
Hormones, mood swings, female work environment dynamics with man and women...
What could go wrong? We’re only talking about a nuclear submarine here.
If it’s not broke...
Has anyone seen that stand up comic’s comment regarding the likelihood there could be an “Oceans Eleven” team made up entirely of women? He states that it would be impossible because two women would always break off and start trashing the rest to the point it would destroy the plan.
I think this is obviously over the top, but I’m not convinced there isn’t a wee bit of truth in it.
Do we wish to risk our major subs with this type of dynamic?
I don’t know. Perhaps I’m off base. Seems iffy to me.
Hot Racking
I know someone with a hot rack...
Look at this beyond the ‘sex’ thing.
I don’t ever remember a senior Petty Officer on subs who didn’t start his career there.
Putting senior PO’s in who are not ‘qualified’ is not going to work. There many duties they will not be able to perform for at least a year onboard. Others will have to pull their slack until they get their dolphins.
I don’t see a good outcome here.
OMG. What a sight to see.
We have heard of girls getting pregnant on navy deployments. Is it a stretch to think the same can happen on subs??
Because unless the boat is filled with gay men....they're gonna need one.
For some reason that old joke about “what’s long and hard and full of seamen” comes to mind.
It says Senior Officers. So they will have their own quarters. They also want 20%.
20% of what?
Probably not. Friends of mine on the USS America busted up a prostitution ring lead by some female Marines from their squadron. Each girl had made about 10 grand each float.
I guess we’ll have to start calling our ballistic missile subs ‘Bloomers’.
Sounds like 20% of officers. Which would be 5 on an Ohio Class.
