A Big Question For My Friend

[cvill16199016]

My Friend Robert Is Wanting To Now But Im Not Sure If I Should Askthis But He Wants To Know If They Allow Not Straight People B/c He Is That Way And He Wants To Know B/c He Doesn't Anyone To Like Kick His Butt If They Find Out

[CHICKENTRUCKIN]

they can not say you can't join but i would not want to publicize i was ***. that is just my opinion though.

[thissith]

The U.S. Military has a "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. No one is allowed to ask about your Sexual Orientation and you are expected to keep it private. I agree with CHICKEN, bragging about being *** is probably not the best thing to in a barracks full of men that PT all day.

Its also against the 'rules' to go arount telling people you are *** if you are enlisted in the military and it can be punished if im correct.

So yes, its ok for him to join but if he plans on being openly *** it could be an issue or if he is very femanin it could also cause problems(teasing from other recruits, ect.)

Most straight guys have a thing I call GAYDAR. That means that We can tell even if you keep it secret. ....just a little advise Robert ...oh , I mean Cvill.

[cvill16199016]

thanks
and nice one for putting robert oh i mean cvill
lol..

[GoTiTbIg1013]

inone of the many papers that you have to read before you swear in it actually says in so many words that if you are *** then you can be court marshalled..

[cvill16199016]

what does court marshalled mean

[Styles]

It means your on trial for a crime against the military.

[cvill16199016]

how is being *** a crime
i thought it was just part of life because people are born that way noone makes them that way i don't see how its a threat

When you enlist you are no longer a civilian while in uniform. You don't have the same rights. Whatever the military says is a crime, IS A CRIME. No if's, and's or but's about it. If its unconstitutional the lawyers will figure it out. Your job as a soldier is to follow orders.

Folks, if it is not already apparent, CIV is either too stupid to join the military or is playing games with you. I highly suspect he/she/it is a toff-wannabe trying to play social games for his/her/its own gratification with no benefit to the military or country.

Check out his/her other posts, and ignore him/her/it.

[cvill16199016]

im just trying to get peoples opinons on what the war is like so i can get some ideas and see if i still wanna join becaus ei am going to its just that im trying to make the right decision or not so stop calling me stupid or whatever yall are ok..

[MaineLawyer]

Being *** is not against military law and will not subject you to criminal penalties. It is deemed to be incompatible with the military and you will be chaptered out if you disclose it. During my active duty military career, I know several soldiers, who were discharged for being ***. There were many others that everyone believed were ***. None were in any way assaulted because of it.

Anyone that cannot control him/herself and restrain themselves from attacking or assaulting another soldier, then he/she does not belong in the military. The Army is for mature, self-disciplined men and women not out of control juveniles.

p.s. I have only addressed being *** in the above passage, homosexual acts are a different story

[FSU_CJ]

Ok, here I go. Just on the off chance that you are serious and not just trying to be a shithead I'll throw my .02 into this post. If your "friend" is *** and truly has a desire to serve than by all means he should. That having been said though, he will need to stay in the closet (or foot-locker) with his homosexuality. It is a UCMJ ((http://www.nacua.org/nacualert/memberversion/Solomon/FN3_10USC654.html)) (Uniform Code of Military Justice) punishable offence due to the belief that homosexuality is incompatible with military service.
The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Persue policy requires a homosexual serviceman to keep their sexual orientation a secret and to not engage in any homosexual behavior while a member of the armed forces. If your friend does decide to enlist than it will be in his best intrest to keep to himself. The military, regardless of branch is an extremely homogeneous place. We all dress, talk, and look similar and anything that is different is a threat. Just remember that the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

Alright I Will Tell Him Thanks

[Wheelie kid]

how is being *** a crime
i thought it was just part of life because people are born that way noone makes them that way i don't see how its a threat


Lol, that has to be a text-book example of a liberal response.

Back on subject, as long as your "friend" keeps his mouth shut about his orientation, and not "flaming", he should be fine.

By the way, just to let you guys know, I'm openly heterosexual.

Carry on.

[cvill16199016]

what do u mean i forgot what that means
now i feel stupid asking that lol...

[Wheelie kid]

what do u mean i forgot what that means
now i feel stupid asking that lol...


Now I feel stupid for asking you why you feel stupid about what you said and I don't understand what you said.......try it again.

[cvill16199016]

[Wheelie kid]

If by "mean" you mean sarcastic, then yes. :D

[cvill16199016]

[Wheelie kid]

If you thik their being mean to you here....wait till you meet your Drill Sergeants...

[cvill16199016]

i know i should just shut my mouth huh.....

[Wheelie kid]

i know i should just shut my mouth huh.....
......if you ask a question, be ready for a response. Don't be so hard headed that when you ask a question you already know what you want to hear. Won't work. If you go to boot, and pass, you will learn an instant willingness to obey orders, and that includes a big cup of you know what.

[cvill16199016]

a big cup of shut the *$#@ up

[Wheelie kid]

a big cup of shut the *$#@ up
Bingo. Your getting it.

Hey cvill,

Have you ever thought about taking a martial arts class? They are great for creating focus and confidence. Just remember that most martial arts taught are for sports and not combat - not that some parts aren't transferable but if you try one that gets a blackbelt in 2 years you probably won't be a "bad ***"
It will however get you to push yourself in ways you probably haven't even thought of yet.

Just a thought.

[cvill16199016]

but why are u giving me this thought

[doubtfuldarhma]

Because you lack focus and seem less than confident.

[cvill16199016]

thanks will do
