• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Fraternization problems.....

Gotta go with Obio. Worked with a lot of women and don't question their professionalism, however, biology is a powerful force. You put perfectly healthy men and women together in close quarters and it's going to happen...rank/rate and position of authority doesn't always trump biology.

You can force the folks to sit through hours and hours of non-frat lectures and classes, but they already know how to do the other thing.
 
I only spent 4 yrs in the RCN. My dad was a lifer. That was back in the early 70's. Canada was joining all the forces together. The old guys hated it, army and airforce types on our ships? I was "lucky" enough to sail on the same ship as my dad. you can imagine some of the joking I had to put up with. Funny, some of the places you bump into each other while on shore leave. I know how he would feel about today's navy, best left unsaid.:ernae:

I don't see this as a failure in leadership....I see it as simple biology in action. Anytime "Innies" and "Outies" are in close proximity for 6 months, surrounded by water, with no other opportunities for "biological exercise", those Innies and Outies are going to get together in the way that nature intended them to get together. It's simple biology. How the US Navy thinks that men and women, confined to a floating tin can for 6 months, are not going to do the horizontal tango is beyond my ability to fathom...but then again, I don't have my head shoved up my rear end.

Very well stated, this is why you are now SOH Staff. I agree, putting females in combat billets is not good. There are plenty of non-combat billets that females can fill, but men and women together, especially in a confined space during their sexual prime of life, with stresses added... eventually there is going to be an exchange of bodily fluids.
 
This happens everywhere in the Navy (and for that matter, all the other branches) and isn't just limited to combat ships or combat jobs...

Maybe true, but the frequency of the problem increased dramatically when they began assigning women to combat ships......
