Fire duty, dragging hoses, carrying hurt men up/down ladders.

Or her husband who is standing beside her 100%. So maybe more to the story. Husband appears to be a Marine.

I don’t think they should find a new name for our cruisers.

Destiny Savage. You cannot make this stuff up. I’m sure that during her career as a pole dancer, she learned all that she needed to know about ship handling, celestial navigation, battle station drills, and general seamanship (if you know what I mean).

Every year the Navy has at least one mind blowing story regarding leadership failure. Remember that Captain of the submarine USS PITTSBURGH who had an affair with a girl in Virginia, and he was telling her he was a Navy Seal.

The Navy mixed the sexes and now are reaping the predicted results. The stupidity and lack of common sense of our alleged “leadership” is mind boggling.

“And what physically gruelling tasks would you find aboard a navy cruiser? “

Dragging a wounded sailor through and up a ship? Handling water lines? Oh, that’s right. This isn’t a Navy of war, this is a “peacetime navy” where nothing bad will ever happen.

It seems to be. Did you note at the bottom of the Facebook page a navy ship is listed?

All of which I've seen female members of damage control teams perform just fine.

In fact, with three deployments and multiple workups on co-ed ships under my belt, I'm truly hard-pressed to think of any job that can't be performed equally by both both sexes. It's not like sailors are humping 80 lbs rucksacks and sleeping in foxholes.

Sure.

I’ve never seen a female carry a 180lb load up/down a ladder or work loaded down with gear. . .hey, if you say it can be done. . .so be it.

(I’ll just go back to reading Weak Link and all its references to standards being lowered to accommodate females, as standards have been lowered in civilian fire departments, too.)

Must be true.

Yes, that was a crazy story. I hear crazy Navy stories at least once a week. I am afraid they will get crazier with women on subs.

I always think of the Academy grad NASA diaper woman when I think of female officers in the Navy. I don’t know why. It is most likely unfair because I am sure there are a handful of sane women officers.

Time was the only thing that would keep the Captain of U. S. Navy warship holed up in his cabin for weeks was strawberries.
