I aint putting my Gloria cap on, but over the years working in the construction field I have come across
a few women who could hold there own against many men. Besides their differences in plumbing, many of them
were way more dedicated reliable and a lot better employees than some of the men. Something about
bearing children that men will never understand. Myself, being mom and dad for my daughter, I sympathize with them.
Granted a submariner has always been a traditionally male role but look at where we are at as far as humanity, and technological advances,
we have the best war machines in the world, I'm pretty sure that a woman call pull the trigger same as a man
when the time comes. To say that a submariner (woman) couldn't, wouldn't,won't does disservice to those that earned their dolphins and those
crew that are on those boats who have to have trust and rely on every other qualified crew member (those that wear the dolphins) to keep them alive.
Don I know you aren't saying smack (hope not anyway) just a change of times, tradition, I think women, properly trained will
do just as good a job as a man if not better when the time comes.
I say give them a chance.
