Didn’t happen in my Navy. 1975-1986. Guess that’s what you get when you relax the standards of the military. Much more to come with the DADT revision.

I worked Boat Crew on the cruises till I made third class and saw zero's do some weird stuff. One tried to bring a pig back on the PB with him in Genoa. {Squadron Officer it musta been his date that night} LOL.

Seriously none of the officers got so drunk they were out of control of their actions. The only women you saw on ships was ones brought onboard for short visits by a sober enlisted or officer wearing required dress blues.

I do not believe a combat ship is a place for women. I have many good reasons for this belief besides the tensions it would cause. It has to affect such critical operations as man overboard muster and setting Zebra at GQ or the fire bell at zero dark thirty in the night. In all cases we ran down passageways dressing going to quarters. If it was man overboard you went too muster immediately and the Captain didn't care if you were in skivees. It was that important to get it done quickly as life was at stake.
