There are thing it is easy to get young men to do and things it is very hard to get young men to do. Young men want to prove themselves and they naturally follow a strong leader so getting them to run a boat is not that hard. Getting them to not try and screw anything with the correct plumbing or making them not fight and act like follows because of said plumbing is a very hard thing to do. Life goes smoother if you cut with the grain. In a metal tube under the ocean having go smoothly is very important.
Don't worry too much about the drinking age because I can assure very few of our service members are going without alcohol. It about as hard to get alcohol in the military as it is to get it at college.

As I understand it, there are very good reasons why they don't let women on submarines.
