Like some of you guys I feel totally left out! When I was in the US Navy, it was the "old" Navy without women on ships until they started with the tenders just before I retired so I missed it. There was a case I remember where an E3 female had accused a chief petty officer (he was a soft spoken Philippino) of attempted rape. It came out in the courts martial of the guy she had made it up because he had her on a weekend duty (regular rotation) and two other women had heard her tell another how she was going to "do him in"! The guy was set free (he had been locked up) and fortunately he had over 20 years so he could retire. Nothing happened to the woman who did the accusing!
