This will lead to many, many a fun conversations between male sub sailors and thier significant others that they will be leaving topside when they deploy.

Oh snap, I should go back on active duty...
Hi, sailor! :wave:

[RacerX]

Would they still be called "Seamen"? At least there'll be a lot of new jokes out of this! :D

[Bigdogjim]

Somethings should just be left alone!

Change is NOT always a good move.

I think women are capable of doing the job. I just feel sorry for everyone on the subs that got picked. They are going to go thru about 50 training episodes on why fraternization is bad, 50 on how babies are made, 50 on why drinking around members of the opposite sex is discouraged, 50 on what bad touching is, it just never ends. And the first time a guy and a gal get caught playing post office, oh boy. And it WILL happen, it's human nature.

What if there's an accident??? If the sub crashes and there's semen everywhere, will the women survivors be pregnant??? :D

[Blk Mamba]

Will they still be called "Bubbleheads"?

Yes, it will, and even when it doesn't happen the accusations will fly...

leading to some divorces and possibly/probably the justification that "well if I'm gonna be accused of it anyway, why not".

You'll have to watch the training videos :lol:

HA! You must have been in? Those statements are so true. I've seen careers thrown away, marriages wrecked, you name it.

"The blue and gold crews of these subs each will get two female junior officers as well as a female supply lieutenant, who will serve as a professional and personal role model."

Now, will the supply lieutenant be the only junior grade who will have to endure additional "role model" training, or are all of the female officers going to be role models? I wonder how many careers are going to end when the first "role model" winds up being impregnated by some seaman's semen...?:D

P.S. I guess they need a female supply officer to order all of the new line items required for a female crew.

[Black Dynamite]

Oh I don't know.....a female officer seemed to work out pretty well on Down Periscope. :D


As weird as male submariners are I can only imagine what kind of woman passes the psych screen.:eek:

[secretservice]

Those women are gonna come back used up.

[Cheeseheadbob]

Perhaps this kind of woman...

[RacerX]

You guys are also assuming they're going to be eyecandy. What's to say they don't look just like their fellow seamen. :eek:

Doh! CheeseheadBob beat me to it!

Allthough, I don't think hermaphrodites can make it past the physical! If you have an inny and an outy, you're definitely outy!

[secretservice]

It's Pat!!!

[Mr. Man]

Once the novelty wears off I'm sure women will do fine. Are women on surface ships still controversial?

[rayjay]

Having watched some shows on the Military channel involving subs from our allies that already have women serving on them, ah, there will be babies being made. At least drills will be held unless their male sailors are all eunuchs. I'm sure the women they showed were hand picked, but still, they weren't 2 o'clockers by anymeans some were down right hot... I guess if lesser Navies can make it work so can we. Anybody see the Israeli tank driving intstructor the other night? SHE, should have been working at Bikinis. Cute too boot.

[Egon Spengler]

Whole new meaning to down under...

We dove too fast and she got the bends over...

[Vortex]

No offense to our female members here but IMHO women do not belong on any US Navy ship (with the exception of medical personnel on hospital ships). Not saying they dont belong in the military.

I can hear it now.."I'd like to swab her deck"
