      What’s gay to civilians is brotherhood in the Army. What’s gay to the Army is brotherhood in the Navy. What’s gay to the Navy is illegal.

        Situational sexuality.

        I remember a recent convo (last ten years) regarding an elderly British couple talking about the rise of LGBT+ issues in politics,

        HUSBAND: It’s actually refreshing to see the young people openly talking about it. WIFE: I don’t think we’ve ever known anyone like that. Do we? HUSBAND: Dear, I was in the navy for ten years.

        If you think about it, it’s very much a thing in parochial schools as well.

    I’m in a band that performs on occasion at CFBs (Canadian Forces Bases). We typically eat there and spend the night either in barracks or guest housing.

    I have noticed that when we play for officers, dinner is like steak and lobster. When we play for enlisted, it’s more like high school cafeteria. The one and only time I had to excuse myself towards the end of a concert and miss the closing number was after eating at the enlisted mess and getting explosive diarrhea.

      That’s one jucy plate of bread, green beans, lettuce with cum, and diarrhea. Accompanied by a glass of piss.

    Hey, my dad was a Marine and I take great offense at the suggestion that he ate crayons. He served in Vietnam; they smoked crayons, thank you very fucking much.
