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.
BTW A Navy Vet we both served in the same time frames. I was in 76-80. It was a different Navy thats for certain.
Though I'm Army from the late '60's,
"Twenty officers have been relieved of command by the Navy this year.
Crimes, of a sexual nature or otherwise, are vigorously investigated and adjudicated as appropriate by the Navy, said Murray.
"We hold our people accountable and we expect commanding officers to uphold the highest personal and professional standards," said Murray."
It seems more than obvious that women are a negative influence in a testosterone world.
The military of any branch is all about war ... preparing for it and being trained for it.
I don't think it is misogynist to hold to the opinion that women have a place in the military but they interfere with the thought processes of a young man learning to break things.
The article says that officers have been been relieved of command ... what might the EM stats be?
