No, you are thinking correctly or 'dirty imagination' as it were! ;) Just a play on words to involk the dirty imagination! :D

Thats fair enough, I suppose. Still, think those inevitable complications can be ironed out with no loss of the forces fighting ability.

25th wedding anniversary, son ordered to join his next vessel at Alaska with minimal notice and daughter commencing sports academy all culminating unexpectedly at the same time.

Excuses, excuses :O:

And I guess you have to be a little removed from military 'culture' to realize just how much anyone in uniform tends to bitch about change in what they see as 'the way it ought to be', no matter how many long-term advantages it offers.

Ya' griped about female fighter pilots, but it worked. Ya' griped about female surface ship officers, but it worked. Etc etc etc.

But that's the secret of the US military: get its members to stop griping, and they can make anything work. Step one is always a challenge though.:arrgh!:

Ahoy Maities !

ANYONE CONNECTED WITH SS IS MOST WELCOME......BETTER STILL, WE COULD MAKE NEXT YEARS MEET A SS ONE http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/2772/thumbsupgv0.gif

Well, not really, but I suppose you could say that, seeing as the Gods conspired against me I don't think I had much choice in the end :doh:

What I missed most was meeting Neal and the folk/friends I made in Texas again last year.

I'm generally the first to accuse people of making up bull****ting excuses and took my RL demands a little too seriously as a result at first.

But hey! there is always next year. :DL

At least I didn't spend the time in jail like my friend James/undersealance corporal :hmmm:

If next year in London becomes a reality I would feel as if I'd made up for the despair I felt this year. :up:

Ya gotta give those "Waves" credit for they helped build and repair planes during WWII

So why not let them work on our Subs?

Reading this Google page of "Navy women on submarines" sure makes it very believable.
