Recently VP-45 flew a (the squadron operates the P-8) mission with a all "female crew" and all "female maintence support." The MPRA has had female officer and enlisted aircrew since the mid 1970s. VP-50 deployed with female maintenance support in the early 1980s. I spent 24 years in the MPRA community and I was taught "one team, one fight." Guess today's MPRA prefers to segregate their people by sex. Just the rambling thoughts of an old hermit.

A PR stunt if ever there was one. Girl Power ‘n stuff. This is how “they” think, which speaks volumes.

Segregation is becoming fashionable again. Generations of Klan Kleagles are laughing in their graves. Maybe George Wallace was right (as in accurate, not as in moral) when he said/predicted " segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever."

I swear I didn't read this before making my post about segregation coming back.

Did they get a guest spot on "The Marvels?"

Yeah, it's going that way with a lot of things. Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's rice are just horribly racist, gotta get them off the food packages right now!!! That's great, you only get to be on a food package if you're lily-white. Tell me again how that isn't racist? John C. Stennis, namesake of CVN-74 and segregationist extraordinaire, would be loving this.
