The Pentagon will lift a decades-old policy that prohibits women from serving aboard Navy submarines.
WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon has moved to lift a decades-old policy that prohibits women from serving aboard Navy submarines, part of a gradual reconsideration of women's roles in a military fighting two wars whose front lines can be anywhere.
At issue is the end of a policy that kept women from serving aboard the last type of ship off-limits to them. The thinking was that the close quarters aboard subs would make coed service difficult to manage.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates notified Congress in a letter signed Friday that the Navy intends to repeal the ban on women sailors on subs. Congress has 30 days to weigh in.

Oh....I said Bubbleheads....not Bobbing head...
If it was that strong for you in open air, imagine what recycled air in an enclosed space will do. Wow
The women were just as bad as the guys when it came to unauthorized sexual activity. Girls who you would never think would cheat on their husband or boyfriend back home were getting their fair share...
They called it “bunker love.”
Yea, this is a bad idea.
In Saudi we had to run along the flightline, we had to pass to female heads. We smelled them too and it was not perfume.
What does Gates and Mullen’s have against the Navy?
Congratulations, America, on your "historic" election.
Just what do the wives and girlfriends of the submariners think about this policy change?
So let’s see— take an Ohio class SSBN (submersible ship ballistic nuclear) a missile boat. These have 24 missile tubes each with a missile tipped with 8 multiple reentry warheads (MRV) each one of which is 475 kilotons, or 24 times the tonnage of Fat Man (Hiroshima atomic bomb). So that’s 8x24x475kilotons=91,200 kilotons of firepower. You put into this submarine a mixture of single, married and otherwise attached mixed crew of both sexes and you place them in 400 plus feet underwater. Mix generously during 3 month patrol as part of our nuclear deterrent triad (bombers, land missiles, subs). This is NOT a carrier, it is so sophisticated that any ONE little thing can go wrong and the vessel is LOST, immediately. The Israelis abandoned any attempt of this sort of thing, and also of an all female crew, even switched out (Blue and Gold crews both all female). The discipline effects of this have been well documented. Anyone within the submarine community (who were not asked, I assure you) will tell you HOW BAD THIS IS. We should all write to the appropriate congress people. This is NO place for social experimentation. It was Patsy Schroeder that started all this, and it has weakened our readiness— period. That is all.. (family of submariners from before WWII) This is simply insane. An entire crew with all the females with synchronized PMS?!! No other country does this, except maybe New Zealand. Incredible. And what are our enemies doing? Not this you can be sure.
If the libs, NAGs and pc elite desire for women to serve in these fields, why not assign them a ship or sub "for women only."
Of course, that will never happen just as the fire departments do not assign an all woman fire trucks - women cannot carry the entire load and must depend on men for the "heavy lifting."
To put women on board a sub is just a terrible idea for both the women, men, wives, husbands and "significant others."
LOL, I was wondering what the fathers of the Miss Piglettes who want to serve on Navy subs think about it.
Obama is trying hard to ruin our Military (all arms) and I believe he is being successful. Open queers in the barracks, women serving on surface warships and now submarines? WTF is wrong with our “go along to get along” Top Brass?
This is not to mention the cancelation of vital programs such as the F-22 and others.
When do the unisex showers start? (Maybe I’ll re-up!) LOL!
“I’ve heard that when a group of Women are together in a confined space for a period (pardon the pun) of time, their Menstrual Cycles synchronize. If that’s true, the Ruskies and Chicoms had better hope they don’t start trouble during the wrong time of the month.”
MadTV predicted this years ago, in the movie spoof “Crimson Tide 2”:

Once women get on these subs, I doubt anyone will do much sleeping. Egads!
In Catholicism (traditional) it has been observed that a human state called "Diabolical Disorientation" can occur. Evidently this has infected many leaders in civil government and the military.
Morale is going to sink to a whole new low!
The Train of Insanity continues to roll on. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
Just like our post secondary educational establishment.
