They’ve done excellent work for the Navy. However, they haven’t been able to advance to some extent due to their rate being over-manned since about 2010. Second, there is still a stigma about women being in the Navy. Also, thirdly, there’s a coarseness about Navy atmosphere, if you know what I mean. For those major reasons I wouldn’t recommend the Navy to a young woman. (This isn’t even going into “Obama’s” Navy and the changes that has brought.)
I’m sure it’s not as “coarse” as it was when I was in. We mostly thought of Waves as lesbians. But I don’t know of anyone who ever met one. Ha! The ones I knew sure wasn’t lesbians. They were some sweeties! Our slogan back then was “Join the Navy and ride the Waves”. Now, that’s coarse!
I’ve always thought that one of the sexiest women you’ll ever see is a Wave in full dress uniform. Everytime my wife sees them on TV she says she wishes she had joined.
What are your daughters’ rates?
