How about rotating the shifts so the women are the boss when the boat is about to go PMS. That will nicely maximize the hell on board.

You gotta wonder if they’ve already ran trials.

Even the fact that normal male joshing is now beyond the pale is a sign of problems to come.I wonder if it is the general shape of a submarine that attracts a certain type of woman.

That happens all the time already. Usually in transit to a mission or on the way back, and the entire crew will bust the offenders ass like a load of hurt.
Usually the clown settles down fast and realizes that if he dont forget about missy and get his mind on the boat and crew, he will be removed and shunned, and I mean shunned bad.
Your career is over in subs if you delay a mission over a skirt.

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. Sad.

Well, I would actually like to go back to the topic, parenthesis and all.
Women now serve on surface ships in all capacities, don’t they?
How long have they done so? How is that working out? I have read several comments in the past about how getting pregnant on deployment hurt a ship’s capability by forcing the sailor off the ship.
So no bashing needed, what is the truth under all the smoke of preconceived ideas and personal inclinations? Would including women on submarines be detrimental to their deployment? If a female becomes pregnant is it simply a matter of proper prenatal care? Is it something where the submarine has to depart it’s mission to offload the pregnant sailor?
These aren’t sexist questions. They are a matter of the ship’s safety.
I’m not a sailor, but I think people who are in the Navy, have been in the Navy, even people now or in the recent past been submariners could shed light on this.
The military isn’t a laboratory for social experimentation. It is a service to use force against an enemy to protect the nation. If it isn’t a problem, then why not. If it is a problem, then it is a problem.
As for the guy’s role. Everyone understands basic biology, men’s sexual drive, and how babies are made. No on is forgetting it. But the submarine doesn’t have to surface and end it’s mission for the man’s part of the participation.

If that pisses you off you will never make it on a submarine.
And I say that with respect.

I am a real woman and a conservative and I am appalled by your statements and lack of concern for the way you are portraying us when you know DU and others watch us.
You total disrespect for women in general is sickening.

In fact: During that event, the prisoner hit the grandma sheriff deputy so hard, both her feet flew completely off the ground, took her weapon, radio, ammo and locked her in the cell....Her face was broken in 10 places.
This guy then went on a murder spree, killing innocents all over the city..

This thread is the perfect illustration of what is to come if these idiots do this.
FR is bound to be polite. Nothing is sacred on the boat except the mission.

I do not want to be on a submarine.I was commenting on the crap that gbets posted here about women.
I was a guard in a men's prison. I expect nasty comments from the slime there, but the people here are supposed to be of a better class of citizen than that which I guarded.
