As my female colleagues walked past, the crewmen would jump up and bid them appreciative hellos. Some even offered their hands, but Dot and Peggy would hiss at them to get back to work every time. I understood the appeal of pretty women as much as the next guy, but why were they acting like this? Some of them were so dumbstruck that they didn’t salute Lieutenant Hollander, nor make any sign they knew an officer was in their presence.
