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.)
For how long? A half hour drill? How many hours were people working damage control on the USS Cole?
“perform just fine.”
Maybe you believe that; I don’t.
