Singled out

[Gatordev]

Neither can you. You've never even met me, so you certainly can't talk about whether or not I "put out", or my knowledge/performance/whatever. Statement of fact.

The Navy is predominantly a male organization. So when you, another male, say "It SUCKS..." and then say that you have to "put out," it's not a big leap to make a gay joke. And when I say "you can't tell us about that yet," some would argue that it's pretty clear, after you say you put out, that I'm talking about "Don't Ask, Don't tell."

Let me know when you want me to explain the story of how "Who" is actually on first and "What" is actually on second, some time.

Good to see that the Navy has not changed that much!

At almost twice the age of some officer candidates (I am 41), do you think I will be singled out (i.e. pushed more) than the others? I would hope to be treated just the same as everyone else, however good or bad that may be? Thank you.

Everybody gets their time with the DI at one point or another. As far as age playing a factor... well, we had a 37 year old guy in my class who ended up being class president. The funny part is that our DI was 35, and his pet-name for our president was "boy".

Oh, come now... innuendo and nuance on the interwebs? Not to mention the fact that I CAN, in fact, tell if I so choose now.... or so i've read.


So who is on first?

Admittedly, the fine are of sarcasm can be lost on the interwebs.

Oh, and you can't tell us yet. I'm not sure what they'd do if you did tell us, but technically it's still a no-go.

Yeah... Big Navy said they need like 6 months or whatever for "implementation"... god knows what that means? Homo-stand downs and NKO courses? FML....

BTW, the "Q" word is not in the USMC vocabulary......

"Queer"? I'm glad to hear it,... but Congress might have the last laugh on this one.

Huggy Ahhh you made me laugh with that one! Lemme see now, quaff works, quaint doesn't, qualified does, quagmire does (nearly always fighting our way out of one), queer does, depending on context?, and Quit does not.
BTW, have not chatted with Berg or Wilson as yet...conflicting schedules I guess? And YoYos is still some time off. Will try to keep you updated as it progresses.
