There was a time when every decision of the military would be solved by the question “Does it make us a better fighting force?”
Obviously that question is no longer asked.
I put up this scenerio before: put ten women on a 688. Since I am sure they can’t hot rack you have to put them in lower level berthing which I think has 15 racks. So now 45 more qualified men have to hot rack just so that the petticoat Navy can pat itself on the back. Thats almost half the enlisted on board. The beatings will continue until moral improves.

Oh, it's worse than that. Lower level (between TR and AMR) is 21-man. Granted, they DO have 9-man between After Crew's and the Doc's office, but that's typically for Goat Locker/JO overflow, or at least it was on my first boat. Oh, and which head do the men get to give up, and what happens the first time some guy in his flip-flops and towel...you get the idea...
