Suddenly I feel very, very old. I remember putting 24 of them at a time on people -- 2 each on head, chest, back, gonads (well, close anyway), both arms, both wrists, both legs, both ankles.
I got over one REM about 4 hours into my first job in a nuclear plant (most of it in about 10 or 20 seconds) as a radwaste tech. That was when I decided the HP had the better job.
Let me know when you join the 20 REM Club. (No children here.)
retired nuke:
got 1 of each, their mom also has another boy, both of us are nukeworkers. Not much of a curse... ;D

I have had 6 boys. I lost my 3rd son to SIDS. The last 2 are Jim's and he's been in the biz for about 20 yrs. I got preggers with #5 while working at Big Rock and was preggers with #6 while working at Crystal River.
I am the Queen of my castle and thank God my last one wasn't a girl, although I wanted him to be at first. Then I had nightmares of having to deal with a teanage girl while in my mid 50s... YIKES :o
So, I'm very pleased with my boys, although they are stubborn like their Daddy :P
Mnemorath:
I got one boy, 14mo old. I am on shore duty so no real exposure to speak of. Less then 400mrem lifetime. Once I get back to sea, we shall see I suppose. No curse that I know of so far.
Wife might be glad of one though. She wants a girl to play dress-up with.
Preciousblue1965:
I would say that you got a 50/50/90 chance of getting one or the other.
I have one boy, but he was conceived post Navy and with no other radiation sources near by.
