Don't see where he could even if he wanted to, and I doubt it's something he wants to pursue. There's just too many women joining the Navy these days, and fewer men. It's a detailing nightmare.
Right, you make that up in a drunken stupor?
Detailing’s not the only nightmare and it’s not a new one.
When I joined in 1966, I was told that the sea duty rotation for missile fire controlmen was 4 and 2 (4 years sea duty, 2 years shore duty). By 1972, with all the new females in the Navy, my rotation had been changed to 6 and 2. By the time I got out in 1975, there was talk of a further change coming to 8 and 2.
