Hope they work out better than our recent and ex head of the Secret Service did!

Somehow, the joke isn’t the same when posed as, What’s long, hard and full of seawomen...

Will it have a maternity ward?

If uninvited intruders start getting in our subs, I’ll know it’s the end of the world as we know it.

“The goal is to have each unit have 20 percent,” Squier said, in order to build a “good ecosystem” for female submariners.”

What could go possibly wrong?

Squier, though, said there has been no major pushback from critics

Few Americans have heard of these plans. So, they in effect initially present it to the public as a fait accompli, and then say "well, nobody objected."

It would alter the ecology of the sea. Flushing used feminine hygiene products into the open sea would attract sharks.

I doubt they’ll have many volunteers after the initial rush to make a point. SSN’s are cramped, smelly, dark, intense hotbeds of masculine wierdness. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Those would likely include creating separate bathrooms or sleeping quarters.

I’m sure that’s going to work out just fine.

What could possibly go wrong? Where are those statistics I read about pregnancies aboard ship?

How does it work when a woman accepts free education from the Navy and then has to be sent home from duty due to pregnancy before her “pay back” term of service is complete?

Just asking...

The sub service will have to provide onboard OB-GYN services especially on boomers. They are out long enough to have to deal with OB emergencies that are not related to pregnancies or STDs. Throw in those two factors and you really have a paradigm shift in the doc's duties.

Common sense has no place in our current politically correct government, common sense without which we can never even hope to win a war and society will totally collapse post-haste.

Why on earth would they do that?

Those are notorious for causing clogs.
