In defense of grrrls. During my career three women from my facility attempted our Test Engineering prep school at Electric Boat, Groton. Two passed. The third had the “highest scores ever” coming into the final exam. She was too sick with anxiety to sit the exam (100 essay questions graded on key words and tricky phrases, show all calculation work). I ruined an expensive dress shirt with sweat rings down to my skivvies.
Dropped out of college, enlisted, refused brown water Navy for being too smart. ASVAB ‘66 GCT=74 equivalent to IQ=160 Triple None Society.
EAOS to IBEW apprenticeship for job security. Journeyman-Leadingman for only electrician with nuclear instrument and controls experience. Seconded to Test Engineering about 1981, qualified in a year and retired with BRAC3 1995.
