Good god, I hope not. I had my concerns about that back when the idea was first floated seriously. Now that integration has become a reality the service is making changes. The marines, for example, postponed their deadline for integration while they changed their physical fitness standards (and quality of life standards) to be the same for men and women. This does mean that fewer women will pass (plenty of men fail too), they'd been traditionally held to a much, much lower standard. Hopefully the other branches do the same..otherwise they're setting women (and our armed forces) up to fail both in their careers and on the battlefield.
Tell you what, I'd rather have been stuffed into coop cattlecars nut to butt than the boys club it was when I served. Nothing like month old unwashed pecker against your face to make you reassess your career decisions.
