I had the privilege of working for Capt. Gero during his first CO tour. I don't know the details here but I am not disappointed to see this. To put it mildly he was not a popular CO among the crew.

NORFOLK, Va (NNS) -- The Department of the Navy has announced a policy change that will allow women to serve on submarines. The change was considered by Congress after Secretary of Defense Robert Gates formally presented a letter to congressional leaders Feb. 19, 2010 notifying them of the Department of Navy's desire to reverse current policy of prohibiting submarine service to women.

Oh, ok - all I did was google the guy’s name and look for more “inside scoop” - sorry it isn’t on the list of “accepted” sites!
So, could you provide me a list of the sites that are OK with you, please?

Oh, my bad!
Had NO IDEA that this web site was on an “undesirable” list...
What other links are not “welcome” on Free Republic? I would HATE to make the same mistake again....
