One of the problems with the different plumbing is that for those who have the indoor plumbing, it needs more cleanliness than outdoor plumbing. This is not insurmountable, but just one more issue that has to be dealt with. Pre end of days something that is going to be difficult for large military's to deal with. Post each team will have to come up with there own way of dealing with lots of little issues this being just one more.

The Finnish military has accepted women in all positions since the mid-90ies. The physical minimal requirements are the same for both genders, but the women have their own tables for fitness tests (that is, they get better points with less effort). Despite that, there are (at least to my knowledge) no female paratroopers or combat divers in the Finnish Defence Forces, though there is a rather sizable number of female officers in all branches (actually dated a Finnish Navy Lieutanant a couple of times when I was a bit younger - she was nice, but just not my type nor was I her type).
In Finland, the women volunteer for service where the men are conscripts. On top of their own fitness tables, the only difference is, the women get 50 cents more daily allowance, so they can maintain their own underwear."Listen to me, nugget, and listen good. Don't go poppin' your head out like that, unless you want it shot off. And if you do get it shot off, make sure you're dead, because if you ain't, guess who's gotta drag your sorry ass off the field? Were short on everything, so the only painkiller I have comes in 9mm doses. Now get the hell out of my foxhole!" - an unknown medic somewhere, 2013.

One thing to note, female troopers might not have access to Feminine Hygiene products post end of days but women have survived a good hunk of history doing out without them. It would just take a bit of effort when out in the field to compensate. Probably the same things refugees post end of days will be doing as well. The interesting part would be to see what they could scavenge to compensate for the lack while out in the field.

In the beginning of this December, I spent five consecutive days in the field with not just one or two but four female reservists, who managed just fine despite the tent-accomodations and temperatures alternating between +2 and -27 centigrades.
And on a side note, the new Finnish doctrine kicks ass.

I noticed the url was 2 characters short so I figured out the last 2 characters. The "-c" may have led to issues somewhere along the line.
