I'm an old Army guy who knows basically nothing about the Navy.However,it's my understanding that there's a serious problem today that's unique to the Navy.That is...when a Naval vessel of whatever type sets sail on a "cruise" it's typical for a huge percentage of the women on board to be pregnant by the end of the "cruise".
I wonder if there's anyone who's recently served in the Navy who can confirm or refute this belief of mine.
