There have been women on subs it happens and it is more difficult. I trust my man I just when u mix men and women there is almost always problems. Women are not all innocent and things get taken to far. Its human nature. Its gonna happen I may not like it but it already is happening . Its just asking for trouble tho

True, it happens everywhere and a sub is no different, but on the other hand just as it's hard to put distance between people on a sub, on the flip side you are also never truly alone. If you yell, several people will hear. The boat never sleeps, with crews rotating on 18 hour days- 6 hours to work, 6 hours "free", 6 hours to sleep. The Navy also does not take sexual harassment or assault lightly, at all. I don't know where your Sailor is in training but my husband has already gone through more than one brief on sexual harassment in the 5 months he's been in Groton. Anyone who instigates something like that will get the book thrown at them.

Its not the men cheating. That worries me there are women raped in the armed services. Not to say it happens all the time.but it does not all.men even in the navy are good honorable.men.and that is sad but true. On a ship there is more room they can put space between bothersome men but on a sub there is no way to.put space between them and what they confided a predetor.

ok! thanks so much for your help!

Littlemiss, I'm not sure about rates other than SECF, but basically your Sailor has to be in school in one location for at least 6 months in order for the Navy to move you. Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember hearing that if they have to move on to GA for A-school, then their school isn't long enough for you to move with him. Hopefully you'll find more specific information!

I have no problem with women being on subs. If a man is going to cheat or break regulations, he will do it anywhere. It's not the presence of women (no matter how "close quarters" it is or not) that causes men to lose their minds and cheat or sleep with a female Sailor/Officer. It is their own integrity, or lack thereof. Before there were women on surface ships, men slept with women in port. Same with subs. Not to mention, if a woman on a sub chooses to sleep with a man, she is just as responsible. Our ability to reason, man or woman, doesn't (and shouldn't!) evaporate just because we are in a small, closed environment. Male and female Sailors have a job to do and they are perfectly capable of doing it without indiscretion. I don't think women should be denied jobs for which they are qualified because of what my husband and the other guys on base call "sh*tbags". Or even because we believe that men are fundamentally animals who are not capable of self-control. Ultimately that's not fair to men, either.
