The Enlisted Women in Submarines (EWIS) task force wants everyone to know that the doors are being opened to enlisted women to become submariners. Eligible E-8-and-below female Sailors, from all communities and rates, can cross-rate, if rating eligible, or convert into the submarine community. Chief petty officers within the logistics, yeoman, information technology, culinary, and hospital corpsman ratings are also being offered conversion to submarines. Ohio-class guided and ballistic missile submarines are currently being integrated, one crew at a time. Integration of female crew members aboard fast-attack submarines will begin in 2016.
