Absolute insanity.
I spent the majority of my sea time on older amphibs that the Navy wasn't going to waste the money on to refit for females. My last ship before I retired was a newer amphib that had females. It was a real eye-opener, and not in a positive way.
Is Mullen one of Clinton's Admirals? He sure acts like it.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
BTW I spent my first 17 years on the surface with some of that time in the gators. Amphibious Construction Battalion Two at Little Creek, deployments on the USS Waldo County and USS Grant County and stationed aboard the USS Newport and the USS Chehalis (PG94). I, too, was lucky enough to have never had to be stationed aboard a ship with women crewmembers.
