Do you have any female relatives who were in the Navy?

[DubiousIntentions]

They were called "Waves" during WWII. But women still serve in the Navy. Do you know any, or would you ever join the Navy?

Name that plane.

I have no female relatives who served in the Navy but during my 22 years of active service in the Navy I knew lots of women there.

I was Navy, my dad was a Submarine officer, my older brother was in the Army, my cousin was in the Air Force, both grandfathers served in various wars in the Army, and my wife's father and grandfather were also both Navy.

I'm curious: what's the genesis of your question?

I like seeing service families. I’m the third generation. My grandfather was a bomber radioman over Korea my uncle was a surface radioman chief and I’m the crazy one who went into submarines.

@Sixgunsound Thanks for your and your family's service! Yeah... I never understood my dad until two of my bosses were submarine officers. All of a sudden I understood him... not too long before he passed.

[Sixgunsound]

My uncle that made chief went out for subs when Rickover was still personally handling things. He failed the mental health screening for subs, which none of us could ever figure out was actually a failure or a complement🤣

No one answered the question yet.

I mentioned my sister is considering the Marines, which is Dept. of the Navy

[NerdInDenial]

I can neither confirm nor deny that I’m in the Navy. Some say it’s an adventure where they can visit many countries which I may or may not have.

[Talldutchie]

Yep, and it is.. ME! 1 year when I was 20 ! I was an army girl and LOVED it!

My sister. She got kicked out because she was basically f*cking everyone on the aircraft carrier she was assigned too men and women.

[Danny_dan92]

Negative. I’m the only one in my family who has served so far. And I joined the Marines

[Andres77]

Navy, no. Everyone I know in our family mostly joined the army and one marine.

[Summeroflove]

Probably somewhere. Not off the top of my head. Maybe distant family

[exitseven]

no, but my mother served in the Marines.

My sister was a naval officer with JAG.

[DubiousIntentions]

Is her name Catherine Bell?

[A_Bell]

No. Haha, I get it. That's not my last name or hers.
