Every time we went out we planned on it being a minimum of 90 days. Usually ended up in the 70-80 days range though. Sexual tension isn't too bad now as everybody brought their own "entertainment." Put women on board, officer or not, and it's going to get worse. And they will get pregnant which will prevent them from deploying for two years (not sure on the time, haven't been pregnant in the Navy). And then somebody has to fill their spot which means somebody on shore duty just got put back on sea duty.

I think this was reported in the Navy Times or News.

If they were doing segregated crews this wouldn't be causing the big stir that it is. They are doing integrated crews. Now I'll say this, if the Admirals and the SECNAV were really interested in equality for women they would let them join the SEALs as well. Political maneuvering, happens in the military too.
