Please note that any objective person would definitely NOT consider an 0-6
briefing during formal training to be the same thing as a presentation of
any facts.

The O-6s came with facts. They presented a briefing that compared divorce and
UCMJ adultery prosecution rates before and after gender integration in
Minuteman. No difference.

2) The wall came down in 1988, having a great impact on missile duty
(limiting the time available for study)

I fail to see why 1988 is a magic year. In 1991 there were 6 missile wings
(Minot, Grand Forks, Malmstrom, Ellsworth, FE Warren and Whiteman) all fully
gender integrated. By 1994 Ellsworth and Whiteman had closed (Minuteman II
Wings). In 1997 Grand Forks closed its missile wing, leaving us with Minot,
Malmstrom and FE Warren, all gender integrated for the last 15 years. Seems a
substantial amount of data is available for those inclined.

3) Gender integration was not a singular event; it was rolled in over time
(making "before & after" comparisons difficult)

Wrong again. Overnight in the early 1980's, Titan crews were gender integrated.
The delay on Minuteman was due to the much closer quarters and the more
"intimate" crew of two, however in the mid-80's, instantly women were permitted
on Minuteman crews. Many former Titan female crewmembers, who had been out of
a job for 3 or more years, were retrained in Minuteman and showed up "in mass",
to Minuteman Wings throughout SAC. No one complained because the Minuteman
Wings were terribly under manned and the presence of a dozen new crewmembers
instantly relieved a burden that was forcing most Minuteman crewmembers to do
over 9 alerts a month.

Oh, did I mention that studying the topic is
in itself taboo?

Hardly, the Air Force itself keeps (or at least they did up until 1991) the
comparison figures and presents them to each new space & missile class.

Apparently, the USAF does not allow any studies to be
performed in this area.

Interesting, is it not?

See above.
