I honestly think about doing an EPF in old times style crashing through a 3ft wave with something silly like “any port in a wave, USNS Trenton 2020-2021 med tour”.

Arsenic Lupin posted:(sidetrack) Which particular Queen Elizabeth was she named for? McNally posted:Probably Elizabeth I. They tend not to name ships for living people. Yeah, I actually asked them about that. On US carriers they really go hard with the namesake references, so like the USS Ronald Reagan has a ton of Reagan-themed stuff everywhere; the wardrooms have Reagan photos and memorabilia, there's a giant bronze Reagan statue on the quarterdeck, etc. So I asked if there was a room on Queen Elizabeth with a bunch of Queen photos and memorabilia, and they dryly informed me that there have been other queens named Elizabeth in British history. But even then they didn't have much in the way of QE1 branding anywhere that I could see either.

I've got job interviews this week, I got into all my top master's programs. Maybe I just needed to prove to myself I could make it outside. Also, as a noble, my quality of life is definitely better than 90-95% of sailors out there. So this isn't as bad of an idea as reenlisting.

It had peak awkward "pressing your phone against the glass at the zoo" energy. The comments were about what you'd expect.

Women have been on submarines for over a decade and have served in every position through XO and COB. We'll have a woman CO in ~4 years. People still treating it like it's a big deal does more harm to fleet integration than all the old misogynist curmudgeons put together.

People still treating it like it's a big deal does more harm to fleet integration than all the old misogynist curmudgeons put together. I'm well aware of that, the first female officers ever on a submarine were in the first NPTU class I taught, and I was on the first SSN with female officers. I get your point that drawing attention to it is bad and agree that the path forward is to treat it like it's perfectly normal and what we've been doing all along though.

Yeah VA's were setup with integrated crews, makes it much easier. 688's your only good option is to turn the 21 man lower level bunkroom into female berthing, which means you still have to walk across a busy passageway to get to the only bathroom and shower.

Sorry if I came off as a dick. I'm in the same year group as that first batch so I've spent the last 12 years working with women who are nearly all competent professionals that wish the PR people would leave them alone and let them do their jobs. And STSSA "I dunno I thought subs sounded cool" probably has enough to worry about trying to qualify without her division's first impression of her being a puff piece that she likely had no say in whether to participate in.

That's not an insurmountable problem by any means, we the Norwegians put us up in their barracks, which are commingled, and there were women and men walking around everywhere in their skivvies headed to the showers. I'd hazard to say all the problems with integration trace back to the US's bizarre puritanical attitudes about gender relations, and the Navy's bizarre, stilted policies that are the clear result of a bunch of old white men trying to implement congressional mandates on something they don't comprehend or care about. The 22 was slated to get female O's* so it was a hot topic when I got there, despite me saying "it's not a big deal, it happened on my old boat, some of them suck, some are OK, just like the male JOs" I got tons of pushback and "what if" type questions. *later canceled due to it being "too expensive to modify the 21 class" which is insane, the "modifications" they did on Virginia was putting some blue plastic in the bullseyes for the heads and berthing, and some extra nauga so you couldn't look in the engine room pisser, which is N/A to the 21 class. Proust Malone posted:I don’t know exactly how to articulate it but yes. The whole expression and body language say ST to me. The sorting hat has spoken. It reminds me of the STS on my first boat who had his wedding ceremony in the torpedo room, and later said "I married my second love onboard my first love".
