What is it like for young women enlisted in the US Navy?
I'm a 19 year old female, and I am considering joining the Navy. My dream is to become a pilot, so I figured the Navy would be a good place to start. But what I want to know is: what is life like for younger women in the Navy? What's it like living on a ship with 5000 guys, and like 7 girls? Do you feel like your treated any differently, because your a girl?
Thanks Ladies

The Navy, like most federal institutions, has taken a lot of steps to offer equal opportunities to all Sailors regardless of sex. Women are currently deployed on many ships, but the proportion of male to female is nothing like 5000 to 7. There will always be differences in treatment because you are dealing with people. But every effort is made to keep things even and complaints are taken seriously. IMHO females get slightly better treatment by the males, but that is not always the case. Care is taken to keep friendships and camaraderie from developing further and the rules are pretty explicit.
On the subject of being a pilot, you must first be an officer. There are various ways to a commission and then you will have to pass an aptitude test as well as a detailed physical. Some enlisted sailors wind up as commissioned officer pilots, but it is a long row to hoe.
Good luck.

Nah, most navy dudes are homo's. Unless you arent cool with pillow/tickle fights and painting toenails you will be just fine.
