Sad but true. Somehow, I think we all knew this day would come.

Sailor Steve · 03-31-2008, 11:08 PM

Okay, I was fooled in the other thread.

But, just a thought: would it still be 'manning'?

JSLTIGER · 03-31-2008, 11:27 PM

I do not believe I have ever been insulted more in my entire life. Imagine that SHIII where you can't hunt because you have to take out the trash.

Hey I just realized this is my first Subsim April fools!! The easter egg was easy due to the fact that the reporters were named Scope Handley, and Tip Biggelow.

I thought this was an exceptionally funny touch:

Now, however, with the backing of outgoing President George Bush, the Navy plans to get women into submarines and avoid mixing with seamen by making two US Virginia class subs consist of all-female crew and officers.

You know I gotta say, reading that article about made me NOT re-enlist for another tour aboard submarines. Good thing it's not for real...yet.

OH April fools day, damnit Neal, you got me.

Penelope_Grey · 04-01-2008, 05:29 AM

And you wonder why Subsim doesn't have more female members

Skybird · 04-01-2008, 05:47 AM

Ouch... I'm hit! Neal, I'll have my vengeance on you!

Not before they mentioned two subs manned by two all-female crews, I started to feel strange about what I read...

Bush playing DW, "Get the joint chiefs up here, I'm under attack from a submarine!"

Joint Cheif's -"Ok sir, to fire your torpedo you press that big red button there.."

Bush- "Hehehehe... this is fun!" *EMERGENCY PROCEDURES SURFACE THE SHIP!*

Joint Chief's- "No not that one!" *Conn, sonar, torpedo in the water bearing 2 3 0!*

Bush- *crying* "Why do they always pick on me, I wanna win!"

Sad, but you can just picture it lol :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
