Academy Women to Become First Female Submariners (stupid idea)

Oh, you are too kind! There are many women, especially on Free Republic, who think along the same lines as me on this topic -- some have posted to this thread. And if you like the way I think, you'd love my mother, whose wise counsel and hard-won insight has contributed hugely to my (and my husband's!) happiness. You're very kind and I hope you're blessed with a woman who loves you as her hero.

“Tommy Cox~Blind Man’s Bluff”

One of the most exciting books I have ever read—totally incredible. We gave a copy to our family doc who served on the “Seawolf”, which makes him extra, extra special to us.

I am glad you enjoyed it.
I loved it as well.

BTW. Tommy Cox is just a submarine legend.

He is still alive in Caribou Maine. Buy the CDs.
The man deserves it.

I agree and that’s why I do not tell my friends about FR. I do not want to have anyone think I am like a lot of the posters on this site

And yet you have your facebook page linked on here?

Do you NOT REALIZE the mess this is going to create, putting women on a sub? /rhetorical question

And no, I'm not a sexist.

Duh.

[Brad’s Gramma]

SandRat, this is one of the DUMBEST, things I’ve read in a long time. Whoever came up with this brilliant idea needs to be throttled.

Yes I have have a link to Myspace and FB because I have no problem putting my face next to my words. But as I said, I do not tell my friends about this site any more. There is no link to FR on Myspace or FaceBook.

Look back at my comments. I made absolutely NO COMMENT relative to women being on subs, I am not Navy. Even if it does make a mess of things it does not make trashing women ok. Nice try to spin. The worst thing of all is the women on this site that support the men on this site trashing females, or supporting anyone making derogatory comments at all. Hypocrites even take it a step further and call themselves Christians or try to say they are not sexist. BS. Your comment is disheartening and I hope Brad is being raised to be a better man than some of the men on this site. I have been reading your comments for years and I have lost all the respect I once had for you, not to mention a few others. Have a nice day.

I made absolutely NO COMMENT relative to women being on subs,

Well, LuvFR, you posted on a thread with this being the subject. What is anyone to think???

As to the rest of it, I'll let your words stand on their own.

All you FR men reading this? I've found you to be NOTHING but gentlemen to me and the other women on this forum for all the years I've been here. So? Carry on!

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Have a great day and please do carry on. I shall do the same.

"What boat, SW6906?

(USS L Mendel Rivers, SSN-686)"

Sorry for the late reply. I did not serve on a submarine, Namsman and I just have an interest in them and ping each other to submarine threads.

Thank you so much for your service!!
