[A Navy Vet]

"When I was in Somalia, the scuttlebutt was that there were some women who were unhappy about being in an African hellhole during the holidays and got impregnated on purpose to get out of there. Again, it was scuttlebutt so take it for what it’s worth. My guess is that submarines will now become one big skivyhouse..."

Shipmate, that has been the case ever since women were allowed on Navy supple ships back in my day in the late 1970's.

I think it might be a loooooonnnngg time before they get to the gator navy. I'm shocked they're on subs to be quite frank. Aircraft carriers, okay maybe I can see that. However, the situations that can arise on a sub underwater for 90 - 100 days are too numerous to even get into and seriously, what kind of woman wants to do that job?

Perhaps I come off as a male chauvanist. So be it but I'm not looking at breaking into the fashion industry. There are differences between men and women. There are things that are in womens world and things that are in mens world. To think any differently is to be blind...
