Military - August 2007

Just wondering if anyone out there would like to share a horror story with me. I'm currently pulling a 24 hr. shift with the world's most obnoxious staff sergeant. He keeps leaning over my shoulder and asking me what I'm doing (he just left for a couple of secs). Anytime I play a game online or on my laptop he gets all excited like, 'ooh, ooh! whatcha doin?!' The worst part is he doesn't even have to be here right now. His 1SG told him that he only has to be here for security checks (that only needs to be done once a night). He's only hanging out because he wants a comp day tomorrow. While watching tv tonight he made a comment about every single thing happening. My lack of eye contact and rude facial gestures don't deter him at all. I know he's not hitting on me or anything. (He's happily married, which he brought up immediately after asking me, "weren't you married before?", "why didn't it work out?"). The only thing to get me through will be witty humor. HELP!!!

The Navy is not permitted to use sonar off the coast of California in an upcoming training exercise. A federal judge ruled there was a "near certainty" that the Navy's active sonar was harmful to the environment. Environmentalists say the sonar can injure or even kill whales, forcing them to beach themselves on land. Should the courts dictate how the Military trains to defend this Country when there is no absolute proof of destruction to the environment?

The code reads as follows.

(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.

(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Does this only pertain to consensual anal sex between homosexuals and anal rape of either gender? What does "unnatural carnal copulation" mean exactly according to the military? Why?

If anyone answering is a member of the military could you please leave your rank? That'd be just super.

I'm not in the army, but my boyfriend is. I know it's completely dishonerable, and I've been trying to talk him out of it, but it seems that he is just dead set on trying to find a way out of the army. He says that he signed up for the wrong reasons and now feels that it is more of a dishonor to stay enlisted knowing that he doesn't truly love serving like other soldiers do. He's currently in AIT in Ft. Gordon, GA as a 25U. He's just absolutely miserable and depressed all the time. Is there a way out?

50 girls all together but cybering with about 5. He's telling them that he's leaving me and that if he hadn't gotten deployed he would have divorced me already. He's cheated on me twice before he left too. Now I don't know what to do because he's telling me the exact opposite. He sends me money every month and sends me jewelry and pictures and stuff. But i've had a few girls message me calling me nasty names and I don't know what to do. Divorce isn't and option for me but I don't know if this is something that has to do with what he's going through over there or if he's just a jerk. He always tells me that he's afraid I'm cheating or leaving him all the time because the military has such a high divorce rate and he says he talks to them to block out how much it hurts to be with me. He said he's not doing it anymore and that he never meant to hurt me. We have four kids and I kind of feel like he's just using me because of the kids. Any advice will help.

My fiancee recentally joined the army, his recruiter told him to lie about his medical history. Even the army finds out that he has gone to the doctor ( for a sprained ankle ect.) will they discharge him? He is literally on the plane to go to Basic right now. so does that mean he is in the clear or what?

I've decided to pursue a career in the USAF and I'll be a sophomore in college this fall. And I'll try to become commissioned through ROTC. I just wanted to know what are some of the best Air Force Bases, as far as the locations and neighboring cities, and climate.

Don't get me wrong. I feel if someone enlists they deserve whatever happens to them. They made that choice. There is no draft. But it does seem to add to their burden to refuse to allow them to separate from the service because of a "stop loss" order.

Well when I told some people I wanted to join the Marines but I also wants to check out other branches, some of them flipped when I mention I want to consider the Airforce and some of them laughed and say: "The airforce is for women" or "Its full of Pedophiles and molesters, check out their academy in Wikipedia" it just kinda insulting since my dad used to be an Airman, and when I say I want to join the Army they say its all "Sissy" and "easy" and say they are weak, I even found this list of stereotype:
Size of Balls according to branches
Marines: Bowling balls
Navy: Basketballs/Volleyballs
Army: Tennis Balls
Airforce: Golf balls
They are kinda suggesting that the Airforce is weak and the Marines have 3 MREs a day and the AF have 3 hot meals prepared by Emeril Lagasse, I mean its good you love your branch and all but could you really determine who is "The best" I am not Biased since I have relatives in ALL of the 4 branches My uncle used to be a Marine....Continued
