The Navy's submarine community has announced a new historic first for women in the silent service: the first top enlisted sailor on a submarine.

In a statement released Wednesday, the Navy announced that Master Chief Information Systems Technician (Submarine) Angela Koogler joined the Gold crew of ballistic missile submarine USS Louisiana as their Chief of the Boat on Aug. 22, 2022.
 
Koogler, who has been in the Navy for 20 years, remarked that both her journey and that of female sailors is far from over. "We need to keep breaking down the barriers so that it just becomes all Sailors," she said in the statement. "It's important to integrate everybody and it shouldn't matter as long as they get the job done."

Well, not as ground breaking as the first menstruating man. But, I’ll give her props.

Yeah,what could possibly go wrong with having mixed crews of males and females living and working together on subs that might stay submerged and on patrol for months at a time?

Great, now we know how she got the job. Wokism takes the prize.

I recall a Psychology Today study from my college days that showed women in close quarters synchronize their cycles around a dominant woman....
