I am the farthest thing from a military supporter but invariably get along well with folks in it. duffelblog had me chuckling a couple times today.
Yeah, I saw that one as well. There's a weird perception among infantryman that any girl who is not a barracks whore (barracks whore being the term used for a promiscuous soldier who goes room-to-room in the barracks sleeping with everyone) is a lesbian. Hyper-masculine environments are strange. It reminds me of one woman in my battalion that did a tour overseas before I ever got there. She got the first confirmed kill of that deployment and it upset a lot of people, because she's a girl and how can a girl out-do us combat soldiers at our own game? Four years after the fact, when I was getting ready to exit, everyone still had stories about getting a blowjob from her in a porta-potty or getting gonorrhea from her, or how she'd be willing to "help any guy out" in getting a brief respite during deployments. I never really believed any of it because of the amount of posturing that goes on in those environments. But, when I was a private, I got placed on color guard with her for a battalion ball. A battalion ball is a formal event usually held once a year where privates have the "opportunity" to mingle and drink with senior leadership within the battalion. It also makes the lives of the wives feel a little less miserable because they can get dressed up and dance and look at their handsome soldier in a formal uniform. Anyway, she outranked me and had forgotten something from her apartment, so she gave me the keys and told me to go grab it for her. There were dildos everywhere. All shapes, sizes, and colors. I was 18 and had never seen anything like it. I probably ended up contributing to her reputation by telling people about it. But who knows, maybe it was all true?
No clue, I guess it's possible. I'd never been around females in the military, so I don't know if they go to different lengths to mess with privates, but maybe she thought it'd be funny. She knew about her reputation and it didn't seem to bother her. She's the one who told me why she had it. She didn't try to have sex with me though, so chances are she just had that many because she's a lesbian.
