I have a basic query:
Do you have to be able to swim to join the Navy?

Does that mean you have to be able to fly, to join the RAF then?

Are you allowed to use armbands if you are slightly overweight?

ZS, you don't necessarily have to be able to swim when you join, but I'll guarantee you will be able to swim before you finish training. I couldn't swim when I arrived at Deal in '62, they have their ways, and I could swim before the 15 weeks were up, well before.

Havoc with their insides? What like constipation or something?
I had that once it was really baaaaad.
Didnt Captain Nemos have a girlfriend in 2000 Leagues Under the Sea? Does that mean she was infertile and constipated?

What pressure unless it goes "tits up" the pressure is only 1 bar abs........ the real reason is imagine one of our boomers out there "somewhere" with rather a large amount of nuclear warheads aboard and the naafi runs out of chocolate........ the end of the world (joke)Sticky Blue wrote:Women are not alowed on submarines because of the incredible pressures exerted on the body when 'under'. They can cause a woman to become infertile and play havoc with their insides (my dad is an ex submariner).

if that was the case then there would be a lot of dead sundodgers everytime a sub surfaced after a depoyment its all pressure hulls and such magic far beyond my comprehension im afraid i prefer to get out of the water at the end of the day, or even better not get in it
