They aren't half the soldier that the women in the other services are.


Wow... you sound bitter.

1st ship was all male...work got done no problem...2nd ship was "integrated" The women always had some reason for getting out of the hard jobs like painting etc...not to mention it just causes problems with unit cohesion since the ship looks the other way most of the time when people start dating (a clear violation of the fraternization policy) or married people cheat with a "shipmate" ..then when they get tired of sea duty, they get pregnant and leave the ship..leaving a gapped billet since BUPERS will not replace them until their original transfer date is up...they do not belong on our ships..period!

There were a couple of women from the USS Vulcan, the first US Navy ship to have a combined sexes crew, that stayed in Naples and ran a potato house there after realising how much money they made on ONE ship.  Oh, and that other girl from the Vulcan, what was her name.....OH YES, Pierside Paula!!!

Hey, I'm being indoctrinated to the US Coast Guard Academy on June 27th!



We're going to Europe on the Eagle. :D



(I know there's going to be a lot of tough **** too, though.  But you gotta stay focused on the bright side.)

WTFG hawker! The Eagle is a very cool cutter. Gotta love a windbagger.:aok

As for the "integrated" ships, I did'nt have a lot of experience with them. The Munro had females on board but trust me, I would not have hit them with Nuke's unit. The BM1 looked like she fell off the ugly tree and hit every limb on the way down.:eek:

Thanks.:)

I have a friend who has to defer to NAPS (prep school) for a year before going to the Coast Guard Academy.  She's incredibly jealous of the trip to Europe.  Apparently, her cruise is to New Jersey, or something similar.

Gotta Love the Spoils of war..EAGLE used to be the German ship HORST WESSEL taken after WW2 to the US and commissioned in the Coast Guard..Russia got the GORCH FOCK(Tovarish) and 2 others went elsewhere in the world. Great Ships!

Really?  When were you on the Munro?  I was on the crew that traded the Mellon for her up in Kodiak in '80!

I was on  Boutwell 79-81. We used to tie up beside Munro at Pier 36 in Seattle. Do you remember when we tagged Munro the night before the Portland trip?:rofl

Ahhh...then it was before "The Great Swap" :)  Wouldn't have been any female I knew then (though I think I may have seen that monster during those couple of days we tied up along side each other).  First person I worked for after boot camp was a female BM2...Cynthia Warren.  Better than most the men on that ship and stronger than half.  One of the most knowledgable BMs I ever had the pleasure of working with.  And in a wet suit....oo la la...we called her the last of the Amazonian Wonders.  Ahhh....my youth.

I was on the Mellon in 78-79 in Honolulu.  We took her up to Kodiak in '80 to swap out with the Munro.  We took a ship that had been in port for 6 months being painted and prettied up and traded it for one that had been at sea for 3 months...and which we were taking out on our 3 month Alpat from there :(  When we got her home to Hawaii she was in rough shape.  Probably looked a lot like that BM1 you're talking about!

Heh, the Munro crew was pissed about the swap. They thought they were going to get Hawaii.
