I was lucky, I served in a Chaparral-Vulcan battalion in Germany from 77-81. It was about the only ADA unit that barred women, unlike the HAWK and Nike-Hercules units. Women were force fed into those units before facilities were upgraded.

To say it was a cluster foxtrot is an understatement.

I was in the Navy 1967-71. I would have loved to see women try to help load 5” ammunition on a Destroyer.
