The nuke curse

On the ship we often joked that nukes where cursed to only have girls, and for the most part (for my division) it was true. I'm just wondering if this is a trend through the community.

it's the same for astronauts and high-hours pilots. Rads kill the weak swimmers, which happen to be Y chromosome more often than not.

Not to mention the high altitude operations.

Good thing I don't want kids.

They might end up *normal* ;)

Gamecock:
I have three boys, no girls.  I've known a bunch of folks that have both, and some that have only girls.

There is no nuke curse that I've observed.

I have heard the same thing.  2 girls in the Navy and a boy after I got out..........wait a minute! :o

Actually I picked up more dose since being out than I was in.  In fact I hit the 1 Rem club twice since I got out.  Probably some truth to it, but I am no genius.
