    Well I thought that joke was hilarious. I'll have to resort to the second best comment.

    Good for them, but I think they're working too hard on the Privacy Issue, Namely because it's properly a lost cause.

    I dont think guys are going to join the navy in order to work with women on a sub. Like wise I doubt not working on a sub is what was holding women from a career in the Navy.

    This is a great idea. Finally the squiddies won't have to wait for liberty so they can cruise chicks.
