What I missed most was meeting Neal and the folk/friends I made in Texas again last year.

I'm generally the first to accuse people of making up bull****ting excuses and took my RL demands a little too seriously as a result at first.

But hey! there is always next year. :DL

At least I didn't spend the time in jail like my friend James/undersealance corporal :hmmm:

If next year in London becomes a reality I would feel as if I'd made up for the despair I felt this year. :up:

I missed you too, honestly :cry:

In fact, until Horsa showed up, I was ready to declare the meet a failure--no Brits at a Subsim meet? It just ain't right.

Thankfully, Horsa carried the water for all you Brits who cannot travel out of your pwn country :hmmm: I don't wanna hear anymore about Americans don't travel abroad :D

Believe me! I wanted to go. However, it was far outside the scope of what I could afford to pay... AND I had to study for my certification exam that fell on the weekend of the meet.

I'd have LOVED to have a nice little heart-to-heart conversation with Carotio.

Of the 42 countries that operate submarines, Sweden, Spain, Norway, Canada and Australia allow women to serve on them...

One thing that article dosn't mention is that Norway has also had a Female CO.

BTW Norway operates(ed) Kobben class subs which are about the size of the Control Room of a 688 class sub. So the USN should just ask them how they intergaded woman in to the crew, because whatever problems could crop up in something that size they must have delt with them on the first week.

Actually with some recent medical advances that won't even be a problem much longer.

Scientists are almost done devloping a hormone regiment that can suppress a woman's monthly cycle.

Just a thought, but how long until they open up the SEALs to women? Opened up everything else why not that?

That's the great thing about these meetings, you really get a chance to know these people we call Subsim guys in a good setting. We all have our quirks and personalities, but I have not found a case yet where I cannot enjoy speaking with another fellow at a meet.

I'm goin' down

While you are drinking and partying at the meeting :woot:, the Barbarinna is on Patrol in the Arabian Gulf, saving your asses.:smug:

If they can get through selection, why the hell not?

As long as they don't lower the selection standards, why not?

Agreed, the standards need to stay as rigorous.

But you and I both know they will. Everybody bitches that women can do the job just as well as a man. Well if that's the case why do they only need to do 20 sit ups, 30 push ups, AND get an additional 5mins on their run times? Men are required to perform three times as much to pass physical standards. Speaking from personal experience the Navy is full of double standards when it comes to the women. :nope:

There are some jobs that women will always do better than men.
