From the old fart's perspective I don't understand how this worked. How did every female living within a mostly-male company not end up pregnant, for example? But that's probably just me being an old fart.
My outfit was split almost exactly 50/50 male/female during most of my time there (it was exactly 50/50 among my original buddies that made it through FOW). I dunno how every female didn't get pregnant, but there were plenty of........shenanigans, let us say Even today I'm extremely close with my female buddies (which is why I'm glad my wife was also in the Corps--I don't have to explain why those relationships mean a lot to me, and therefore there's no jealousy or craziness).

In my time, women had just been allowed into the Corps and they had a separate company isolated to their own dorm. As a freshman it was my sworn duty (according to some warped juniors) to make their lives miserable. W-1 puts up a spirit sign for a football game? That sucker has to be burned before Friday. Which I and a buddie did, as was our duty. Our other duty was "No matter what, don't ever get caught. Run." We ran a lot. Not something I'm particularly proud of... but we were good runners, and were never caught. I credit HS football line coach.
Old army was crazy, but damn if y'all didn't have more fun

Yessir, we did. In 2013 I'm not sure that a lot of what we did would be described as "fun", though.
I'm not even gonna touch your wife's understanding of your relationships with female Corps members. I can pretty well guess how that conversation works out in my house. But again, I'm an old fart.
