We always went to watch the Submarine Races and there was a lot of participation back then! Doing “IT” inside a Real Submarine is really gone to prove a Blast!

FUBAR is a great name for the next nuclear submarine that has a woman crew, because that is what they will be.

Long Live the USS FUBAR!

Well, I’m not politically correct.

Women have no place in the military. Yeah, they are smart, on the whole maybe smarter than men.

What society sends it’s women out to fight?

“Something doesn’t smell right, there. Entered service during the height of the Vietnam war, never sets a foot in-country, yet only serves 24 months and leaves a JG. Not possible.”

Politics.

“What society sends it’s women out to fight?”

An emasculated one.

The day females wear the crossed rifles on their uniforms and light blue cord is the day we are done....

Liberals are a menace.

[Squantos]

Oh yeah.....used to be when ya came home a girlfriend or wife (or both) would ask whats that smell ?.......ya explained it was Aimee, the product they use in in air scrubbers.

Now it’ll get ya slapped and hot bunkin with the dog !

[SandRat]

You beat me to it.

The USSR benefited very well from the the service of women during WWII. But then again we know a little something about Russian women of that day.

[onedoug]

Wait’ll the rump wranglers report aboard.

[Cvengr]

Scrubbers will also have to be redesigned to handle hormonal secretions in the recirculated air. Has there been a study done to qualify and quantify the ramifications of no such design?

Psychologically, how will this adversely effect spouses upon deployment of their loved ones aboard a Boomer.

Not to mention the series of new ‘Boomer’ jokes likely to crop up.

[TBall]

Let me guess, on the sub you don’t lose your girlfriend you lose your turn.

The USSR benefited very well from the the service of women during WWII.

From what I have read, once the propaganda need was over the Russians said never again, that it was a nightmare and not effective.

[Chode]

whats the over and under for the first knock up on the lovesubs???

‘In 1983 I was in the Navy and was put in a group and asked about this possibility. Two people stood up and said, “what difference do our opinions make?”

‘They were right. They’re going to do what they’re going to do.’

Wow, they could say the same thing at so many “public comment” sessions and in so many Letters to the Editor sections.

The old Communist workers’ joke is “They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work!”

In our flailing republic, we pretend to participate, and they pretend to respect us.
