Ah, now we know why Mabus got the nod for the Navy Sec. job.

The list, ping

[ironwill]

What?! Lock women in a sub full of sea-men? (Sorry, couldn’t resist)

[tcrlaf]

I have no problem with women in the military, but I see only bad things coming from this....
Too close, too confined quarters.

And I think everybody here knows what they don’t publicize about women on Warships.

[szweig]

It won’t work. It never has and it never will. Too much sexual tension down there. Fer Crissakes...can’t they use their common sense?? SSZ

Bingo!

[Electric Graffiti]

It will give new meaning to hot racks....that’s for sure. Bunch of maroons.

[Former War Criminal]

I will not insult women or submariners by making the obvious references to “bubbleheads” or “...going down!”

On a serious note, there is a nice little memorial to submariners on the mainland side of the Cape Cod Canal. It makes you stop and think what a great country we are (were?).

[TurtleUp]

I’d like to hear sub-driver’s thoughts (however he spells his name).

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Don’t they have cabin boys?

[Red Steel]

Not a good idea...lead nothing but to trouble.

[Carl LaFong]

A monumentally, epically stupid idea.

[Dianna]

Because pregnancy and sexual harrassment aren’t any kind of a problem...

[Kickass Conservative]

I’ll feel really bad for the poor guys doing the Laundry.

Nothing worse that picking up a stiff towel when you’re loading the Washing Machine.

[Age of Reason]

"I believe women should have every opportunity to serve at sea, and that includes aboard submarines,"

No problem.

Just give women their own subs.

Heck--go all the way: give women their own navy.

Just like with girl scouts and boy scouts.

[csvset]

Dumb idea.

[Vet_6780]

During sea trials I saw a sign on a door in a DDG once changed from "Female Berthing" to "Female Birthing".

[BuffaloJack]

In a politically correct climate like we have today, this has even less of a chance of working.

[Jmouse007]

Let women work on subs,... "America Needs More Babies from Unwed Mothers" Navy secretary says

There, fixed it!

[Jimmy Valentine]

Does this clown car Mabus realize that they still hot bunk on some submarines?

Idiots!
