 History means lessons learned, sometimes the easy way, sometimes the hard way. But we can't forget what has happened in the past so that we can continue to make better strides forward because if we forget our past then we're destined to repeat it. We joined in 1993 so there was a lot of change that was happening internally within the officers and enlisted personnel, a lot of training. So at that time, as I mentioned, women were only on tenders and the Navy was definitely looking to integrate and having more women at sea on the various ships. So they started a program called the Women at Sea Program where women could volunteer and we would be placed on different ships for small amounts of time and periods to actually see how the integration was going to go. I was placed on two different ships. One was the USS Denver and the other was the Fort McHenry. I spent two weeks on one and one week on another. I actually got to experience things like refueling underway, general quarters and all of the different watch standing procedures. And the other thing that they got to see is how well men and women could start working together. So it was kind of an experiment. Obviously it was very successful because now we have women on various types of ships including submarines.
