Great. With an attitude like that, you'll be the next Chief of Staff.

I don't have an attitude, I just provide facts.

O.K., where did you get *your* numbers (showing no changes in
fraternization, infidelity, or divorce)?

During the first few days of Undergraduate Space & Missile Training you go
through an orientation course where you discuss (in the presence of a panel
which includes a few chaplains and senior Space & Missile leaders,typically O-6
Group or Wing Commanders) various topics, including gender integration. The
statistics were presented and in fact, the discussion on gender integration is
open to any spouses as well. When I went through, a few guys brought their
wives, none of whom seemed concerned by the prospect of their husband being
buried 150' below ground with another woman.

Where did you get your "facts"?

I didn't even bring up the changes in data from the Quality of Life surveys
yet . . .

I'm eagerly awaiting your data. I spent three years as a Minuteman III Combat
Crewmember. In those three years I knew of one person who had issues with
gender integration. Interestingly enough, he was in the same squadron as this
last yahoo. Unlike the last yahoo, this guy never made captain and ended his
career four years after it began. Of course, he didn't get the publicity of
this latest guy, but the story is nearly identical. But the bottom line, out of
the hundreds of crewmembers I knew, and the hundreds of wives (and a few
husbands), there was a problem with *one*. If you try to provide some "data"
that says the quality of life surveys mention gender integration in a negative
way, I'll know you're full of it.
