[QUOTE=helbent4;28603]What little I've read about women in the CF in combat roles (armoured recce, infantry, etc.) suggests that sexual assault is far more likely to occur in rear or base areas, or back home in Canada. I would guess the reason is that even with the EFCP, women would be relatively rarest in the front lines. There is simply more opportunity where there are more women. Plus, on the front lines there is less chance for privacy and frankly, you simply have a lot more to worry about than sex! further, if it's true that criminal elements will tend to be kept from the front lines they will be concentrated in the rear areas. Consensual sex, like sexual assault, requires opportunity as well as privacy. Therefore you'd see it happening in the rear areas (no pun intended) as well. [QUOTE]
Don't know about the consensual sex if a woman was assigned to a tank crew. We are rather known for that appealing mix of used propellent, diesel, sweat and that special "eau de assault on de senses" that comes when you drop four people in an armored box and seal the hatches....
