Well Done Marine ! Tears. We have finally arrived at a good place now that DADT has been repealed. You are a fine example that sexuality does not interfere with morale or work performance. Thank you for serving our country. U.S.Navy boot camp 1978. )
Ex-Navy ... Bootcamp in 2002 right after HS. Dont Ask Dont Tell was in effect. Thanks for your honesty. BTW: the rumor is they put salt peter in the eggs, not true. I envy you being able to be yourself in the military. I went to a submarine base (all male then). PS: Very cute.
I swear this is true, like 4 or 5 days before graduation I had a wet dream; this was the first of two that I have ever had in my life; the second one happened when I was on boot leave, oddly enough. But since it was in the middle of the night, no one noticed...Thank God lol. And yes, I am gay; and no, the showers were never a problem, you're pretty much too stressed most of the time to get hard. That was back in '04, so I never came out. But finally, at the age of 30, I am. Thanks :)
Hey I just found you on youtube on accident, I'm a marine too, yeh I was too depressed to be gay in bootcamp ,that's the main reason i never got hard lol
Thanks for this video. I'm Gay and joining the Air Force and stressed as shit. To make matters worse I have a tramp stamp and ex stripper. Classy huh lol. Great videos man
Very true, I was an openly gay wrestler my senior year of high school, and thats the first thing everyone asked! I was there to compete and for the sport, not anything else! This is so true, We have a purpose!
Very true... and forget about just gay, you are not likely get it even if you have a fetish for the military. People tend to be too tired or too preoccupied. There so many things to focus on that you wouldn't have the time...
I had 5 regulars but I never thought of sex in the showers. You would be surprised at the guys that approach you. Key is that you must be discrete and never ever put your business in the street. I was Navy and those were some of the happiest times of my life!
Air Force here, same thing with me, not once did I ever get hard while in basic. I think the stressful environment and constant activity just wears the crap out of you and getting aroused is the last thing your body is thinking of. Was most worried about the showers obviously, but nothing ever happened, if anything we relaxed in the shower and had a little bit of fun like singing and shit, just fucking around. Not saying I didn't notice anything (cause I did) but nothing entered my mind haha
Fair enough, you know someone with that first hand experience. It just seems to me, that some smart recruit by, after all these decades now, would have snuck some of the food out to be tested, to prove one way or the other on this. Heh, maybe it's the next hurdle after DADT--stop repressing our junk !
To be fair I was in boot camp back in 2011 and it was the gayest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. I can still hear the drill instructors yelling “nut to butt!” But seriously though I feel for you. I’m not gay but I remember also learning customs and courtesies in boot camp on how to board a ship and they said we had to “salute the flag then salute the fag”. It was a different time
(examples: the belief that circumcision will prevent, or at least reduce, instances of masturbation in boys & young men, is the main reason why it is [WAS, in some regions where it's losing its popularity] such a widespread surgical procedure for non-Jewish and non-Muslim in North America--whereas in the majority of Europe, they don't bother and they think we're nuts to perform unnecessarry surgery. Another: the belief that bland foods--corn flakes!--reduce people's passions and self-pleasuring)
It wasn't in the food, it was in the water. The recruits would jog or exercise outside, then they were given a cooler of water to drink from. The water would taste slightly salty and the officers would never drink from it. It would have been impossible to keep samples of the water for later testing. Personally, I don't think it is a big deal. They want the recruits to focus on training and not let sexual frustration get in the way of that. And, it only lasts through boot camp.
Me neither ;o) I did my bootcamp in the army, too. (In Germany it's called -literally translated- "basic education") and haven't had a b*** for 8 weeks :D So...I supposed, that we wasn't some sort of "alpha males" like in a wolf pack.
I can see how it probably does little physical harm at such low concentration in water. They probably just don't want the recruits messing with EACHOTHER. The reasons for it seem more puritanical than practical. Warriors in ancient Greece forged bonds between youths and felt it contributed effectively to military morale.. I know you sign yourself over to the US military when you join up, but the right to NOT be drugged unknowingly ? Doubtful. It's kinda fishy, IMO, and possibly illegal
That's why when I hit puberty, they sent me to live with my Grandparents. My Grandfather put any bootcamp in history to shame. I was working before the sun came up until long after the sun set. By the end of the day, I just wanted to shower, eat my dinner and sleep, as I knew four hours later I'd be up and doing it all over again.
Well, you shouldn't believe every "debunking" article. Look, my bf went through the experience and he 100% verifies that they put something in the water- and it is only during bootcamp, so it wouldn't become toxic. The officers wouldn't drink the water. And he couldn't get a hard-on no matter what he did, even for a couple of days afterward! it hadn't nothing to do with stress because he wasn't stressed! But you can believe what you want.
SOMETIMES these things are true (and well-documented, and openly admitted to by the folks involved in popularizing them), but without hard evidence, they remain conspiracy theories with little to back 'em up.
I was in bootcamp (Navy) back in '84. I think back then bootcamp was normally about 7 weeks long but I was in for ten weeks due to auditioning for (and getting accepted into) a special company (choir/band/drill team). Anyway, I got hard only twice...both in the shower...when someone commented about my body. I remember that I was embarrassed first by the complement, then by the erection. And both times, I hid behind my buddy while toweling down, waiting for it to subside. No one said "gay"..
It's kind of sad and unfair to be ostracized for being gay bi or whatever. I've been listening to some of these videos and some mention that YOU MUST TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALITY EVEN IF YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS CONDEMN IT. but no one ever mentions that divorce is condemned by all religions. And I believe at least half of Americans are divorced or living together not being married. It seems like people like to point the finger at homosexuality so they don't have to think about their own situations. AND BEING GAY OR BI OR WHATEVER IS NOT A CHOICE. BUT DIVORCE IS..!!!!!..!!!!!....
when i was in marine boot camp I would always wake up like rock hard almost every morning. sometimes in the middle of the night and I just had to rub one out. so if you arent getting hard even every so often at that young of an age, you should go get checked out by a doctor.
They put salt Peter in the coffee or the food way back in WWII to keep guys from getting hard and it didn't work. At least that's what my mother told me. As regards getting hard, this guy I work with went from the army (he was special forces and was a sargent) to the Marines because he felt it was like, if I can remember, he wanted to be a seal. Anyway, doesn't matter. His drill instructor got pissed at his boot camp class (whatever you call it) and had all the guys line up single file super close together. This was in the morning or at night before showers. Then he made them run around in the barracks with their junk snacking into the guys in front of them. Many of the guys were inflated as a result and they were PISSED! I think he did it more than once. I'm thinking that's like sexual harassment, sexual abuse, sexual humiliation and should have been reported. Anyway, guy lost respect for the Marines that day.
Can't agree 100% on that bcuz although I have no idea how it happened but I did get one.....just one but still.....it happened. If u read this hit me back n I'll explain
In my opinion, I don't care whether the man sitting next to me is gay or not, as long as he does the job he's paid for. I know gays who are even more fit than straight men in some jobs, so WTF?! And all the hullabaloos about gays in combat is pure shit, cuz when you fight, there's no gay, no straight, there're comrades fighting for their lives and their brothers'....
No one cares that you are gay stop trying to put the two together like you are a special kind of Marine... There are no gay nor straight Marines only MARINES! You might be a Marine that just so happens to be gay or a Marine that just so happens to be an athiest but stop putting the title with things it pisses me off. Semper Fi
Actually you are wrong about that that no one cares, for many soldiers it uncomfortable to share a barracks with someone of the opposite sexuality because of thier religion. My time during training in the army we had a gay recruit in our barracks I didn't mind, but so many others did and they actually dropped out on purpose because they didn't want to fight alongside or train for the matter a gay man. My friend at that point was also depressed and because of all the mean and rude things said to him made training all more worse and he ended up actually trying to commit suicide. So I'm sorry but it actually does matter.
Plenty of people care enough to want to ban them from the military even now. It has a long history of being anti-gay which probably keeps away qualified gay soldiers. It's important for them to know that they're not along in this.
