Infantry units with female troops smell better, study finds

In 1993 I was finishing my first Navy cruise onboard USS John F. Kennedy, a few years before there were women on combatant ships. After turning over our responsibilities in the Med, we started heading home, and the C-2 COD detachment came onboard for the ride home. Usually the COD detachment stays shore based and follows the carrier around to provide mail, hi-pri supply, and passenger missions. There were a number of female sailors in the COD detachment that stayed onboard for the two week trip home. It was weird, because for those two weeks, the ship went from smelling like ass and feet to smelling like roses. Wherever the females went, you could smell the fact that they had been there. Eventually, most of the common areas on the ship smelled like foo-foo. After six months of nothing but butt-crack and athletes foot, there was the smell of woman! Made the last two weeks of cruise feel even longer.

Based on the picture, the Air Force has infantry?

MSgt Danny Hope Love the line "“The non-integrated units smelled like ass, BO, feet and beer,” said researcher Sienna Smith. “At the integrated sites, however, it smelled like a combination of Old Spice, Axe and wintergreen mouthwash, with a curious hint of Twilight Woods and Japanese Cherry Blossom body wash.”
