if they can make it work, then this is good LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 24/02/2010 01:13:47 PM
from an ethical standpoint, it is definitetly good, but if the practical applications create a problem then I could understand why they would stop any co-ed programs they set up.

I do wonder why they didn't just move to only-women subs. I know that would take more time to train submariners, but it would probably mean less submarine overhaul.

I have to admit, I mentally snarled a bit at the knowledge that women still are not allowed in "combat" positions. I did not know that and I do not like it in the slightest.
