ORIGINAL: hermione83 My grandfather, for one was in the navy for two major wars, and was in the navy for a long time following that. And his brother. They were out to sea for long periods of time. They didn't have sex, they didn't get addicted to any drugs... a beer occassionally, and letters home.. and they sent most of their paychecks to their mom til they both got married when they were home on leave.. And they were loyal to their wives back home. And they are not asexual, as evidence by my being born. :P .... sad to hear our tax dollars pay to get army officers telling their crew to get drunk and get laid. That wouldn'tve happened in my grandfather's day.. Herimi - Im not going to get in a big argument with you because frankly I don't care enough to. As I recently told someone else on the other side here - sometimes the truth isnt what people want to hear.... Its very nice that you have such a great impression of grandpas navy etc... HOWEVER, Im not likely to one day take my grandaughter on my knee and to regale her with tales of the debauchery I engaged in at Tailhook. I never told my stepdaughter a story that began "Once upon a time there was an aviator named Kermit, and these three townie girls Nikki, Kim, and Sarah... Nikki would huff and she'd puff and blow that cock down....." For christs sake I already almost had a heart attack when a neighbor of mine, who was also a Naval aviator, asked in front of BrittneyLee at a barbecue "Hey, what was the name of that bar in Po City where they had that bitch that would light and smoke a cigarette with her cooch..." My first wife was none too pleased to find out the history of the "squadron panties" I gave her... She assumed they were a gift for wives and girlfriends. She didnt realize that they were something we traded to hookups so that the ones they were wearing could be stapled to the bar wall for all eternity... Believe what you want to believe - My dad was a Master Chief with 36 years in and from what I have heard from him, and every older officer and chief I ever served with, things were even WILDER in "the good old days" before we pulled out of the Phillipines. I can tell you this... in the days before dont ask / dont tell - when gays were actively hunted.... The FEW sailors who wouldnt go "on the prowl" were looked at with "much curiosity"... Even in the modern "enlighteded kinder gentler Navy" I had a major problem with sailors picking on a guy who didnt play with the boys as I have recounted before in threads pertaining to DADT policy. As for marriage - ask them someday what a "fleet widow" is..... Its nice to believe, but reality is a different story. For as long as there has beem a Navy, there have been drunken sailors prowling cathouses... (and ditto for soldiers - the whore camps followed the civil war troops from battlefield to battlefield.) I dont know what you think was different about your grandfathers day - but it has ALWAYS been that way, and it always will be that way... For christs sake, when I was an age I shall not disclose, my dad and a few of his men "bought me a proper piece of split tail" from a 19 year old stripper working in a bar frequented by Navy Divers. Thanks pop, thanks guys, but little did they know that I had already been getting my own from that auburn haired girl in school for a year :D
