RADM Marsha Evans (left), Execu-
Director for the Secretary of the
’avy's Standing Committee on Mili-
tary and Civilian Women in the Depart-
ment of the Navy, gave briefings to more
than 1JOO people on Monday entitled
‘Beyond Tailhook'.
Evans' discussed the Navy moving in
the direction to eventually be gender-
less, letting male and female personnel
compete for jobs they qualify for, result-
ing in a fairer system. She also stressed,
every opportunity is being used to inte-
grate men and women.
“Today the Navy is in the forefront,
within the military, and in American society
in its comprehensive program and creative
approach to bringing about real progress for
women," Evans stated.
Other target areas she talked about were
the standing committee's 80 initiatives spe-
cifically aimed at enhancing the status
of women in the Navy which included:
• enhancing professional opportuni-
ties for military and civilian women in
the Department of Defense
• bringing realization to the respect,
rights concerns and contributions of
women and
• ensuring mutual respect for men
and women.
The Navy'score values, RADM Evans
stated, courage, honor and commitment,
are, and will continue to be the founda-
tion of the service. (Photo by J03 (SW)

ht hands to reenlist. Hansen committed himself
