Well, right now the navy is the only one that still segregates the sleeping quarters. In the army and air force, I believe, they all share the same tent. When it comes to their heads and wash places, they're separate, segregated as well, and rightfully so. In the navy, the females have their own mess and their own heads and wash places, which are kept separate from the remainder of the ship. The problem is that, on the ship I'm on, which is an Orca-class vessel—which is a very small vessel—being a senior boatswain mate, I always get thrown down in the bottom instead of having my own cabin, because they refuse to segregate, or refuse to.... “Co-mess” is the best way to put it.
But women on ship are usually treated very poorly, which I've seen specifically, since 95% of my time has been served on ships. Because they're always segregated, when the doors are closed and they're not near the female messes, the men start talking. And specifically, I hate to say it, but when it's that time of the month and all of the women are pretty much synched up after a six-month deployment, every man stays away from that area. But they always make fun of it and they always verbally attack a lot of the females behind their backs when they're out of earshot.
