I think mixing genders on board ship is STUPID. It creates retarded soap operas that can decrease crew morale and readiness. And now I find that we're not going to have all female crews (which I think makes sense) but mixed!!!

If Norway, Australia, Spain and Canada can do it so can we.

[ETR3(SS)]

My feelings on the matter.

[TLAM Strike]

Yeah, but we fight wars :)

:nope:

Norway, Spain, Australia, and Canada all contribute forces to the War in Afghanistan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Security_Assistance_Force#Contributi ng_nations) and have had forces in Iraq. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_force_in_Iraq)

The men and women of the armed forces are supposed to be professionals and conduct themselves in such a manner.

It he/she cant keep it in their pants they should be summarliy dismissed.

I would also be willing to bet that the vast majority of them are married.

Now that I said that it is enevitable that someone will drop their moral standards and 'fool around'.

Best intentions and all that.

I don't actually have an opinion all that strong being for or against but this thread reminds me of a discussion I had a year or so back with a friend who serves on subs in the RN and his response was...."At least they'll (RN) never be short of matresses". :hmmm:

[Rilder]

Bah your afraid of a couple girls on your subs? Man you guys are a bunch of pussies. :p2:

[Jimbuna]

It might also double up as a recruitment aid :yep:

Since there are no female submariners right now, the crew MUST be mixed unless you want a hastily formed crew with no sub operating experience being thrown into a crash course and then placed on the sub.

http://www.greatdreams.com/tailhook.htmMind you we are both talking about skimmers and wingnuts. Of course submariners would never do anything like that. :03::har:

[Snestorm]

Barbie, go home.

[antikristuseke]

Oh noes, women on subs, the world is surely going to end.

**** off.

Exactly!

[Safe-Keeper]

Didn't they use the same arguments they do now when they debated whether or not coloured people should be allowed to serve with white people? "Can't be done, we've got wars to fight, and our troops are too racist to have Negroes among them!".

If Norway, Australia, Spain and Canada can do it so can we./thread.

I came here to look for boobies.. wankers. :-?

Of course not. :up::har:



Maybe what the Navy should do is commission an all-female attack sub. Nobody in their right mind would mess with a Seawolf crewed by bitchy women that have been underwater, in cramped quarters and away from their families for months on end, would they? :DL

Well said. I agree 100% on that.:up:

[ETR3(SS)]

The men and women of the armed forces are supposed to be professionals and conduct themselves in such a manner. Supposed to be and are, are two different things.

It he/she cant keep it in their pants they should be summarliy dismissed.I completely agree. It takes two to tango and both parties should be held responsible.

I would also be willing to bet that the vast majority of them are married.That would be an incorrect assumption. The submarine force has one of the highest divorces ratings in all the services. This is due to the long times spent away from home with none or very little two-way communication. Add women into the mix and that already high divorce rate will skyrocket.

Now that I said that it is enevitable that someone will drop their moral standards and 'fool around'. Nothing new really. Happens in the rest of the military all the time.

And to our European subsimers, your culture when it comes to sex is completely opposite of ours. We were founded on a Puritan lifestyle that persists to this day.

[SteamWake]

Supposed to be and are, are two different things..

I would beg to differ. The vast majority of our enlisted men and women are indeed professionals.

[ETR3(SS)]

I would beg to differ. The vast majority of our enlisted men and women are indeed professionals.The way we act around the general public and the way we act "behind closed doors" are indeed night and day.
