The Gayest Homophobes /s

Seriously though, when I was in, we were under Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which meant that anyone that even as much as identified as gay was kicked out. I signed a paper that described in detail what were homosexual behaviors that were unlawful. This paper was more elaborate than my actual service contract. Still, 95% of E-5 and below Marines and Corpsmen would protect their clearly gay buddies from this by not snitching or coming up with alibis for them. In fact, at least in my unit, we embraced our gay buddies by going to gay clubs with them a few times. And of course, lesbian behavior was okay if it was "hot" and the girls said they were bi, so that never really mattered.

It was until Sept 20, 2011. At that point, "sodomy" was still unlawful until Dec 2013. Also in 2013, they started recognizing same-sex marriages.

On a related matter, transgender issues have had unstable policies. Since 2021, there are no restrictions on gender identity, while administrative support (e.g records, paperwork, etc.) and medical care for transitioning service members are provided.

I have never cuddled a fish. In my head, this is a fuzzy carp that swims in warm, vanilla scented water and leaps into your arms.

Cuddlefish needs to be bred into existence, or genetically engineered pronto.

The people's millipede?

This is why soldiers think jarheads are morons.

The exercise is meant to be done with your feet on the guy behind’s shoulders. This puts his face somewhere between their feet and knees usually. Then you all do a pushup together and hate the one weak guy who can’t do the exercise.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bro they have favorite flavors of crayon. Why would they know how to do a pushup.
