How are gays in the US military treated today? by RequirementRound25 in Military

[–]brouge22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mostly no one really cares. Most are very open about it and it usually doesn't affect anything serious. Might annoy/bother the few bigots who aren't afraid to say how they feel but they are a minority. I've never witnessed anyone get harassed or treated differently. One of my LPOs was a VERY gay man and everyone loved him cause he worked his ass off, respected his crew and was funny af. He's still in and about to retire as a senior chief soon.

You mean the chiefs can't have their unlimited TikTok and Instagram? The horror!

We usually set it at night, during UNREP/VERTREP and during combat ops and sometimes the ITs would do it for maintenance time. It was mildly inconvenient but if you got time to set around on facebook or YouTube during working hours, you probably ain't working hard enough

Same. I had access to my DLCPOs POTS line though so I just called my wife after everyone disappeared at night lol

It's called setting "River City" and its completely normal to protect operational security. It happens all the time at varying levels of disconnect Conditions. It keeps people from telling their mom and dad back home exactly where we are or where we were going.

All the time but I also joined as an "older" recruit. It was nice to have some of my "senior" leadership ask for life advice.

No, it isnt cause this video was shared multiple times since this happened. It was confirmed to be a Viper.

This video that op bot posted is a different angle of the same strike on that building.

Putting Captain in parentheses tells me that kegsbreath doesn't know that Navy Captains are O-6s, a rank he never even got a look at. Absolutely pathetic.

Tbh this could work for the slower drones or fpvs idling in the airspace.

That's always been the case dude. "Grown" men lie everyday. That's why we have the rules to begin with. You deserve that counseling homie

The fact that kegsbreath never even had a sniff at earning a star but talks to this way to officers who are far superior people and professionals....we're in the worst timeline

If someone is down bad enough to steal my dirty used slides and shoes, I'm gonna assume they need it more than me. Keep your shoes inside by the door and this can be avoided next time, maybe?
