[QUOTE="Stork, post: 4802444, member: 71642"]These are just plain cool. All a little ahead of my time in the Navy, but I did have the chance to serve on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower back when they first added females to the ship's crew. Later, I got to do a 'dependent's day cruise' on one of the subs. Bad me can't remember the name. They wanted a female GMO in case any of the visiting 'wimmin folk had issues'. So I brought my JAG husband and he ended up doing way more 'consults' than me--IIRC I supervised the placement of exactly one bandaid being put on by a corpsman (I happened to wander by when he was doing that). The sub was nauseating, cramped, and agree with I am super impressed by those that do that for a living. Made the carrier seem like a cruise ship. I'm not even prone to seasickness--I outlast about 90% during bad weather and bouncy rides. That sub nearly did me in. Once when, ship was in dry dock at Newport News, I once got to go on a 'tour' and literally walked under the ship. It was one of the most awe inspiring things ever. Oh, and those shipyard cranes. Insane. Boy, has this post ever taken me on a trip down memory lane.[/QUOTE]
