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) · 04-30-10, 11:53 AM

My feelings on the matter.

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".

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

It might also double up as a recruitment aid

There is the entertainment value as well: http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news...0705-d8ox.html

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.

Mind you we are both talking about skimmers and wingnuts. Of course submariners would never do anything like that.

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