Please change the name of this video, they aren't Submariners yet. If you can put "nubs" or "non-qual" in there, would be great. And you won't insult any of us Submariners. Thanks again.

so how is it that there going to be no major changes ? um head and showers that has to change for one.i served on board the USS Tennessee SSBN734(b) for 3 yrs and it was tough just being a non-qual how do u think it going be for them? i not sure if i only one but i think subs should stay all men because if you put women on board with men that just asking for trouble i believe.

@TheRidersChoice "I dont want hear any equality shit either until women are forced to register for a draft" agreed.

[TheRidersChoice]

@LordLightknight nope, i fully support women becoming officers. Certain aspects of the military should be reserved for men. Ive already explained why they shouldnt be allowed to serve on subs. Infantry roles and subs should be the two roles they are exempt from. I dont want hear any equality shit either until women are forced to register for a draft

[LordLightknight]

@TheRidersChoice If women/jews/blacks/(insert whatever here) aren't allowed direct combat situations (you know jews weren't allowed soldiering in the Middle Ages?), they will not have any credibility as commanders. But maybe you're afraid of women in situations of authority?

[LordLightknight]

@TheRidersChoice Yeah, cause they have such difficulty managing in space stations. Oh, wait.

someone is going to come up preggy! and they already have, so there told ya so.

@TheRidersChoice So, you're basically saying that no woman ever can live with the lack of personal space and privacy. Yeah, ok, strawman argument is sexist and dumb.

im a girl and im in the process of joining the navy!!! i dont really know anything about submarine life but i dont understand why any girl would want to be part of it. I think its okay if certain areas of the military are strictly for men. if its been working out that way for so long, why risk creating problems by changing it? i hope these women know what they are getting themselves into, because i dont understand why they would want to be in subs.

[TheRidersChoice]

@NWBackcountry women shouldnt serve on subs b/c of lack of personal space and privacy but ships tend to be a little better. Women serve important roles in the military although they should never be put in any direct combat situations
