Just read that on Subsim's front page. Probably a good move, but I still have reservations. Then again, I'm not in charge, nobody asked me, and my opinion doesn't count. Also probably a good thing.

The number of transfer requests off of subs by the men will quadruple after the first month.

She's nearly forty. A bit on the high side for a lieutenant, but the navy doesn't hire for looks, so opinions in that direction don't count.

Best of luck to these young ladies. I hope their vigilance in the cold Atlantic lets England sleep better at night.

About time too.

I'd still prefer Lt. Lake.

Love is but a light switch away.

Ahh you all know after a few beers have removed your inhibitions you'd be all over Penny(the one with with the most inner beauty).

Just an observation I made over the years drinking with friends and knowing the effects myself.

It should be...... beer: helping people lower their inhibitions since 4,000 B.C.
