Whats on my mind? Well was just over at "FACEBOOK" for my daily dose of "aggravation" and ran across this "US NAVY"promotion...and this is what my "comment" was... You know the dumb thing about this promotion...it should not have to be. Women and men especially "young men and women" were never meant to be placed together on US NAVY warships. Long deployments extended period at sea. Majority of the crew "18-22 yrs old" you don't have to be a rocket scientist to "Know" that is not a good Idea if "maintenance of discipline", crew cohesion combat efficiency, is your goal. The military is not a good place for "social engineering" it is charged with the most important task the Constitution puts forth "The protection of the common good and defense of our nation"...everything else is secondary... let them "experiment" on the liberal college campuses with "co-ed" dorms and whatever...I just witnessed through home video my step-grandson's graduation from RTC Great Lakes...I had the experience in 1967. The training and challenge is more like a rough boy scout summer camp, or at best pre-season 2 a days for High School football. The whole challenge of the process had to be lets say "modified" to accommodate the women. My grandson said he had expected "More"....The cost of ship construction goes up because of the obvious differences between men and women's needs, special "security" details assigned aboard large ships to maintain "privacy"... ridiculous!!! Then comes the obvious problems of standing room only at "CAPTAIN'S MAST"... that's like shipboard "civil court"....but "SEXUAL HARASSMENT" RATCHETS up from the usual "misdemeanors" to "SPECIAL COURT MARTIAL AND
DISCHARGE"...LIFE AT SEA IS CHALLENGING ENOUGH WITHOUT THIS UNNECESSARY LIBERALLY IMPOSESED TRAVESTY. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO DISRESPECT THE TRADITION OF THE SERVICE AND IT'S MAGNIFICENT HISTORY.
