cshenk was never in the navy... she may have been a Sea Cadet... but
most likely loitered in navy base towns and fratenized with sailers
when their ships came into port, if you get my drift. She wasn't such
a dumb hussy, when sailors have been out to sea for months they are
all saved up paywise and otherwise, so can pay the rent and throw a
female the hump of her life. Navy wives know their husbands have a
girl in every port, but neither are they so true blue when hubby is
out to sea for months. Them's the facts of life for the Lifers.
Now that females are serving aboard ship there is no way I don't
believe that ships aren't floating dens of iniquity. And since the
gals and guys are receiving regular medical exams they re all clean or
they'd be sent ashore. Plus saves the SPs from having to patrol off
limits joints. There's no way cshenk was/is military except by
injection.
Smaller vessels don't have stand mixers, dough is kneaded by hand....
and typically the officer's cook kneads dough by hand too.
