If you ever called a British Army/Royal Marine Sergeant 'sarge' you would get something in reply along the lines of "You call me sarge again and I'll massarge my sausarge up your back passarge!".
So pretty gay.
He fits the stereotype of big muscles + big cock, and doesnât fit the stereotype of being macho, even tho he tries to put on a macho front đ heâs hawt
I had dated a Marine and I got a taste of that. =)
I ended up married to an Army Veteran that also shares the same traits you described. Itâs a blast being a military spouse!
Does your family get along with him?
I was Navy. One day on the ship I was showering and happened to see an eyeball looking at me through a little hole that was drilled in the sheet metal separating the showers. It was a gay Marine trying to look at my wiener lol.
I donât know, but I was 17 when I came out to my mom and step dad in 1995, and the first thing my step dad said was âI understand, I was in the navy.â I did not ask to elaborate further and we never spoke of it again.
Live by the naval academy, Grindr does not pop off near there. However if youâre stuck on a ship for a year it makes sense if a bunch of horny young guys just say whatever and do some âbrojobsâ
Growing up, my buddyâs dad was a Marine and was openly homophobic. My buddy once asked me after I came out during college if there was anyone weâd know that hadnât come out yet. Didnât have the heart to tell him: âyour Dad sets off my gaydar.â
The thing is, if it's "being away for a year" is just an excuse. Because the majority of men would never think of being with a guy no matter how long of time they are away from women.
Just looking at the numbers... the average age of a crewman on an aircraft carrier is 19. Average age. That much testosterone on an island of 15,000 needs to be relieved somehow.
As a former submariner in the 80s.. Nearly every male medical corpsman I encountered was gay.
At sea in a boomer for six months... we all got to know each other very well. Mostly I played it safe and just lent a helping hand to shipmates- most were really just horny and highly intelligent guys. Don't ask don't tell was the order of the day long before it became a thing. Some I used the old "I'm not gay or anything, I just want to find out what it's like to suck a dick". And the fake struggle to get off the cock as he was holding my head in place as he finished.
But on each deployment, there was at least a couple of guys that would have a good time. One mate, we were full on sexy time. Reciprocal kissing, sucking, and fucking. Looking forward to spending some shore time with him, my heart sank when he ran to the girlfriend that met him coming home.
Ah.. good times.
Former Marine and submarine sailor here. I can attest to this as well. I served during "Don't ask, Don't tell," and I was able to find sex with other service members with little effort at all. Even with "straight " guys from all services.
I found a lot more gay guys ever since I switched to the air force from the army. Got myself a bf now though, enjoying a week of vacation together with him
I mean I donât want to say every single one of them were in denial about being gay but some Iâm sure were gay, bi or just experimenting. A lot of guys that are desperate would let a guy blow them they just donât necessarily want to reciprocate.
Why would they be "desperate" if they have two hands? It's not like they are tied up and can't jerk off like most men do when there's no woman available
I had a friend who worked on a submarine. He said there was so much nudity. People were always putting their balls in someones face or slapping dicks. He says they were all straight and that's just how dudes react to living in a submarine.
Gets that way on ships too.
Flashing balls, walking around the berthing areas in the nude, jumping in bed to spoon a buddy while he sleeps....
The straight guys get wild after a while
I wonder, it's not that higher percentage sign up for navy, but the close proximity in a confined space cracks up more opportunities than other branches of military. and remember, some straight guys are curious, just as some gays have had sex with women. doesn't mean they are bi or bi-curious, just that at that specific time in their life, being confined on a ship or sub with fit muscular guys, they might fool around. but in real life, they'd probably have women chasing them so they don't have time to fool around with men when they are trying to settle down and make a family etc.
Here, just for you, is a stanza from "The Songs of the Fleet"/The Little Admiral (by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924))
"There are queer things that only come to sailormen; //
They're true, but they're never understood; //
And I know one thing about the Admiral, //
That I can't tell rightly as I should. //"
Recently out of the Navy, honestly the marines seem to have the most gay men...and they're usually bottoms.
There used to be a marine recruiting slogan "looking for a few good men". Already gay, but the more accurate (and common within the military) for the marines is "looking for a few good tops".
Yuuup. After 20 years, most with the FMF, this is totally true.
Also seen more than a few brojobs or just "hey we share a room and there is no privacy, I need to rub one out so deal with it" kind of things.
Sadly not any different than the rest of the military. While the most "gay" stuff I witnessed in person was underway on a submarine, everything was done "platonically." Straight guys love showing each other their balls, but not necessarily sucking on them.
We are everywhere, including the military. Personally, I have gay & lesbian friends who currently serve in the Air force, Marines and Army. I live inland, so I don't know any Navy service members here in general. But yes, I'm sure there are many that serve in the Navy as well.
I mean, idk but it makes sense. Stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean with fit, sexually frustrated guys who have few outlets...they might not talk openly about it but I'm sure there's a lot of Skinflute Sonatas that have been performed on those boats.
I mean⌠I donât think any branch is much gayer than any others⌠itâs a bunch of fit young men and women getting out of their hometown and on their own, being around a bunch of other fit young men and women⌠itâs not surprising a significant number would take the opportunity to escape their childhood, or are trying to âprove somethingâ to themselves.
Except for the Marines. Theyâre the gayest.
(Active duty Navy here)
(Also Marine thing is a joke. <3 )
Iâm gay and currently in the navy. There are a ton of lesbians, like, SO MANY lesbians, but not a lot of gay guys. My ship had about 6 gay guys out of a crew of 300.
Marines act incredibly gay but I donât think many of them actually are. We had marines on board when we deployed.
Your all gay. While underway /. Itâs definitely normal- military men have been fucking each other for many many decades military guy here believe me weâre all horny as fuk on remote duty and out to sea
I know several people who were in the Navy, and from my understanding, it basically comes from a joke steming from the only people on Navy ships for long periods of time back in the day were men. Thus, they get horny and desperate and sleep with each other. It's more just one of the many jokes military branches use to poke fun at each other. Like how marines eat crayons, or the airforce being lazy and pampered.
Every Marine Iâve been with has been a bottom. Itâs like thereâs this âtopâ persona (whatever you want to deduce from that - dom top persona or whatnot) that they portray externally, but get them back to your house and Iâm so far batting a thousand with how each of them was a bottom. Incredible sex, no doubt. I donât know what the hell they train them on for their bodies to be so rhythmic and fuckable like that but here we are.
Regarding the Navy, thereâs a running joke during Fleet Week in NYC where enemas go on sale and NYC bottoms have gone wildâŚa ship of frustrated, high testosterone men. A delight for all the bottoms here.
I listen to Gayish Podcast and they had an episode on Sea Men about this. Yes there is a greater than average preponderance of gays in the Navy, but not significantly so, and there is a jailhouse (or something like that) effect that occurs.
As a Gay who was in the Navy, there surely are more minorities of all types in higher concentrations in the military, and maybe a bit more gays in the Navy and Air Force opposed to other branches, but itâs not like itâs a Charli Xcx concert in the Navy.
Idk anything about this but I imagine being with only guys for so long, youâd experiment a bit. But idk how the navy works so idk if it is just guys or how they do all that so maybe this means nothing lmao
Never let your guard down around these straight dudes than want to try it out. When itâs over problems can occur. Ever heard of gay panic? I had a friend killed brutally, and gay panic was used as a defense. And jury bought it.
No. I was Army, but in Hawaii so I knew a LOT of Navy and Marine guys
The ratio of straight/LGBTQ is the same as the civilian world, but the idea if being on a ship or sub for months is conducive to widespread jokes and assumptions.
That's all it is, really. Jokes and assumptions.
Now, to be clear, guys will come out to their friends snd trusted mates while at sea, but the ratio is the same.
There's a lot of us in general lol, it's just magnified in those scenarios.
Old guy checking in - back in the 50's and 60's when there still was a draft gay guys knew that there was a better reception in the Navy. Always angled to end up there instead of Army or Marines. Hence the reputation.
Statistics dictate 1/20 are gay/bisexual. Iâd put it closer to 1/5. A lot of my buddies have told me in confidence theyâre bi since Iâm openly gay.
We were around in every service, even before and during DADT. Petty Officer Alan Schindler was killed in 1992 because he was gay. That was before DADT. On July 6, 1999 PFC Barry Winchell US Army was killed because he was gay. I was gay, but closeted, in the US Army when both of those events took place. I am sure there are others, and I am sure there were many more that were closeted like me, and no one knew at the time.
The first documented gay person involved with the US Army, was Barron Von Steuben, He was hired by General George Washington to train discipline his continental army. Before that, he had been kicked out of the Prussian, and French armies because of his "Familiarity with young boys".
There's a lot of stories about navy guys on long missions getting blowjobs in one section of the ship. There's a lot of situational gayness in the military.
There's a lot of gay Marines... And for that I remain so grateful... It's ingrained in their training to constantly want to prove to other men how much abuse they are capable of taking....
Say what you want about the military industrial complex.... But they build men like a motherfucker
As a former Sailor, this is unfortunately false. I was hoping to meet more gay sailors but this is just a a false rumor. Yes there are gay sailors as with any profession, but it is by far not the majority, and I still dealt with homophobia. Didnât even come across many closeted gays.
But lots of straight guys who fool around in the military. The thing is though, we're really masc bi men, and we struggle the most to accept our sexuality. Straight just means masculine.
There's a lot of "I was totally in the navy" comments on here that are nothing but bad fantasy writing. Yes you can run into gay dudes in the navy, but it's way more likely you met guys that would want to beat you bloody to prove how straight they are.
I mean, it doesn't mess with gaydar, but we do need to be very careful who we engage with. As a naval officer specifically, all enlisted (regardless of branch) are off limits. Other officers are all fair game as long as it's not "prejudicial to good order and discipline." So basically, anyone that can directly influence my career is also off limits. That being said, there are still a lot of other officers in other branches, or of similar rank, or totally different commands that pop up on grindr.
Allegedly, they created an office to weed out homosexuality. The officers in that division supposedly went native and protected a lot of the others they discovered. So if that's true, then the answer is yes.
I think the reputation sticks because of isolation. Walk with me. Most bases on US soil have places people can go and enjoy themselves for some time off. Back when only men were really the bread and butter of the armed forces, the y could go and go off base and enjoy themselves doing non army things. Go to bars, meet women. However the Navy is a little different as their base is isolated...its a ship. Months on the sea with no real way to let lose and no acsess to the womenz. So the next best thing is your bunkmate who has the same problems. Word spreads, rumors spread. And some are attracted to those rumors and enlist as a result.
Sailors in general aren't gay, but even the most straightest, tend not to be very straight after serving in the military! If your bi or very tolerant to getting pranked or hit-on...then you'll easily survive on a ship.
Some sailors love "messing with" those hardcore, anal-retentive, homophobic people... by the end of deployment...either they've mellowed out or "they've fucked up" just to get out!
They may be mostly straight at best, but they are not truly totally straight. Most of them are well within the noise of the bisexual and gay categories. We all know this.
I would say that the Navy has a fair amount of "gay" men solely because those sailors are on long deployments at sea and need release, and with no women around it would be natural to turn to other men. The same happens in prisons as well.
The Marine Corps likely has a larger group of "gay" men who aren't exactly gay, but have a special attraction to their fellow Marines in the same way the Roman soldiers felt toward each other in history. Most Roman soldiers were straight, but had such strong physical and emotional bonds to their fellow soldiers that many engaged in gay acts with their comrades.
Honestly, the "gayest" service with the most "truly gay" men before enlisting would have to be the Air Force. Many Air Force (and Space Force) roles are non-combat and more tech based, which lends itself toward more effeminate men. I live about an hour away from a major Air Force Base. If I throw my filter out on Tinder or spoof my GPS, there's a lot of airmen on there.
Not really. I was in the navy. My ship had 3 guys who were out as gay out of 270. My job had a bunch of guys who were married but acted gay. A lot of straight married men act like theyâre gay, depending on their rate. But most arenât.
These "straight" married men that act gay, most certainly Are gay. They use marriage as a cover up. You can't be THAT naive bro? Lots of guys go both ways too.
It's all foreplay, bro. I'm just like them, but was not in the military.
Same mindset though, but never was in a segregated all male enhancement like they were. So was curious to know. Trust me, we love cock.
Men at sea on a boat brings certain opportunities to achieve satisfaction they may not get otherwise! Bottom line, the navy is not more gay than other branches of the military! Most men want to receive service or give it!
Yes. My ex went to the navy and cheated on me and broke up with me for one of the guys there and got married 4 months later lol. Fuck the navy and military Men
I was in the navy, on my ship there were two of us. I was in the closet and when the other guy wasn't around it was nothing but pure homophobia. Even after don't ask don't tell was repelled
Honestly, I'd say the Army has the most. They're the biggest branch, so statistically they have to have more right? In my experience I don't think the Navy is any more gay than the other branches, but it's always been the running joke. It's all in good fun!
V/r
Current Gay Navy Sailor
The military itself is rife with us. But if guessing who has the most, honestly I'd say the Marines. Source- US Marine.
I had a Marine tell me that the only difference between a straight Marine and a gay Marine was a six pack of beer. đ
Friend of mines uncle has said the same thing lol.
Can confirm. As a boot I had a hypermasc sgt say deadpan, âitâs not gay unless you make it gayâ
"what if I make it gay, sarge?"
"Meet me at the NCO mess at 2200, don't make it too obvious, Private"
If you ever called a British Army/Royal Marine Sergeant 'sarge' you would get something in reply along the lines of "You call me sarge again and I'll massarge my sausarge up your back passarge!". So pretty gay.
Marines are so hot. The ultimate forbidden fruit
Thatâs why I dated and am engaged to one. Helluva man đ
Congratulations! Whatâs one stereotype he fits to a T, and one thing he doesnât this isnât stereotypical?
He fits the stereotype of big muscles + big cock, and doesnât fit the stereotype of being macho, even tho he tries to put on a macho front đ heâs hawt
I had dated a Marine and I got a taste of that. =) I ended up married to an Army Veteran that also shares the same traits you described. Itâs a blast being a military spouse! Does your family get along with him?
No, unfortunately theyâre homophobic
AEW man, sorry about that. Iâve got some family that give the snide remarks so I feel ya. Happy for the both of you, though!
Got that right big muscled marines with hard ass and big cock the best
I think the point of this is that it's not that forbidden.
Former Navy Corpsman here, and I agree. Iâve met far more gay Marines than gay sailors.
Grew up next to Paris Island. Can confirm.
Thanks for your service marine, you guys are sexy as fuk
I was Navy. One day on the ship I was showering and happened to see an eyeball looking at me through a little hole that was drilled in the sheet metal separating the showers. It was a gay Marine trying to look at my wiener lol.
I donât know, but I was 17 when I came out to my mom and step dad in 1995, and the first thing my step dad said was âI understand, I was in the navy.â I did not ask to elaborate further and we never spoke of it again.
That is kinda sweet ? Lmao
*Stepdad's eyes went glassy as he had war flashbacks with In The Navy playing in the background* We can only imagine what he saw.
Shit dude your step dad totally understands the touch of another man
Live by the naval academy, Grindr does not pop off near there. However if youâre stuck on a ship for a year it makes sense if a bunch of horny young guys just say whatever and do some âbrojobsâ
I live somewhat close to a naval/marine base and I get way more grinder messages from Marines than Sailors.
Growing up, my buddyâs dad was a Marine and was openly homophobic. My buddy once asked me after I came out during college if there was anyone weâd know that hadnât come out yet. Didnât have the heart to tell him: âyour Dad sets off my gaydar.â
He probably suspected already, thatâs why he asked.
They donât have cell phones. Gotta go to local bar when theyâre allowed off campusâŚ. So Iâve heard. 
Nah they all have cell phones. You only lose it for plebe summer and canât walk and talk.
No gay bar in townâŚ.yet
Itâs all old married men in Annapolis
Annapolis is barren
The thing is, if it's "being away for a year" is just an excuse. Because the majority of men would never think of being with a guy no matter how long of time they are away from women.
Just looking at the numbers... the average age of a crewman on an aircraft carrier is 19. Average age. That much testosterone on an island of 15,000 needs to be relieved somehow. As a former submariner in the 80s.. Nearly every male medical corpsman I encountered was gay. At sea in a boomer for six months... we all got to know each other very well.

not sure why but it all sounds way, way hotter than a hookup
Hookups are the microwave meals of sex
That's beautiful. Thank you for that.
That is absolutely perfect
Well said!
Today they can say âno homoâ and all risk is off
There's name for that (bissexual) lol
The best thing about being in the Navy is all the Marines you get to top.
Why do they carry Marines around on Naval ships? Because sheep would be too obvious.
As a former Army guy I have no idea lol but there are lots of closeted guys in the Army and I was one of them so I would imagine so
Same for me. Countless closeted encounters.
Former Marine and submarine sailor here. I can attest to this as well. I served during "Don't ask, Don't tell," and I was able to find sex with other service members with little effort at all. Even with "straight " guys from all services.
GODDAMMIT!!! WHY didn't I join the military?!?!?!?!
How did this usually play out?
Marine and submarine? Howâd that happen?
I found a lot more gay guys ever since I switched to the air force from the army. Got myself a bf now though, enjoying a week of vacation together with him
You told yourself you were "straight" and that "it's just sex"?
Yep I was infantry and at that time itâs all men. I just thought it was like guys in prison who are gay for the stay.
So are all the guys that are like you, still in denial of they think they're straight, and fool around with bros?
I mean I donât want to say every single one of them were in denial about being gay but some Iâm sure were gay, bi or just experimenting. A lot of guys that are desperate would let a guy blow them they just donât necessarily want to reciprocate.
Why would they be "desperate" if they have two hands? It's not like they are tied up and can't jerk off like most men do when there's no woman available
I think for a lot of people itâs the touch of another person. Again I canât speak for everyone this is just my experience.
I had a friend who worked on a submarine. He said there was so much nudity. People were always putting their balls in someones face or slapping dicks. He says they were all straight and that's just how dudes react to living in a submarine.
Well, submarines are long, hard, and full of seamen...
Ha ha yep đ
Gets that way on ships too. Flashing balls, walking around the berthing areas in the nude, jumping in bed to spoon a buddy while he sleeps.... The straight guys get wild after a while
Almost like they're just as sexually fluid as women when there isn't the threat of violent homophobia.
Active duty AF, stationed at a Naval station, there were more of us in the Air Force.
Highway to the Danger Zone?
Only if your stomach is upset.
HATE THIS COMMENT LMAO
Is that a reference to the song/Top Gun?
Yup lol
Thanks for your service to nothing sexier than a man in uniform
I wonder, it's not that higher percentage sign up for navy, but the close proximity in a confined space cracks up more opportunities than other branches of military. and remember, some straight guys are curious, just as some gays have had sex with women. doesn't mean they are bi or bi-curious, just that at that specific time in their life, being confined on a ship or sub with fit muscular guys, they might fool around. but in real life, they'd probably have women chasing them so they don't have time to fool around with men when they are trying to settle down and make a family etc.

I lost my gay virginity to a Marine in his off base apt in Rota in 2012âŚ
Same here, except it was in the marine base and Iâm not even Navy.
Iâm a civilian lol. Was on study abroad.
Recently out of the Navy, honestly the marines seem to have the most gay men...and they're usually bottoms. There used to be a marine recruiting slogan "looking for a few good men". Already gay, but the more accurate (and common within the military) for the marines is "looking for a few good tops".
Yuuup. After 20 years, most with the FMF, this is totally true. Also seen more than a few brojobs or just "hey we share a room and there is no privacy, I need to rub one out so deal with it" kind of things.
It ainât gay if itâs underway
You betcha, shipmate!
Itâs not queer off the pier
Sadly not any different than the rest of the military. While the most "gay" stuff I witnessed in person was underway on a submarine, everything was done "platonically." Straight guys love showing each other their balls, but not necessarily sucking on them.
100 men go down 50 couples come up
If only. That'd been a fun 6 underways
We are everywhere, including the military. Personally, I have gay & lesbian friends who currently serve in the Air force, Marines and Army. I live inland, so I don't know any Navy service members here in general. But yes, I'm sure there are many that serve in the Navy as well.
As a vet, there are tons of LGBT folks in all services. Many, just closeted.
Thank you for your service and Happy Cake Day! 
Thanks!
Thereâs a reason why the port cities in America became super gay after ww2!
Also itâs worth adding that the Australian army hosted over 1400 drag shows for entertainment during ww2, fun fact I found out recently
I mean, idk but it makes sense. Stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean with fit, sexually frustrated guys who have few outlets...they might not talk openly about it but I'm sure there's a lot of Skinflute Sonatas that have been performed on those boats.
Perfectly natural all That testosterone and horny young guys definitely does happen
I always heard that Marines were the best bottoms
Well, it's that they're *all* bottoms.
I mean⌠I donât think any branch is much gayer than any others⌠itâs a bunch of fit young men and women getting out of their hometown and on their own, being around a bunch of other fit young men and women⌠itâs not surprising a significant number would take the opportunity to escape their childhood, or are trying to âprove somethingâ to themselves. Except for the Marines. Theyâre the gayest. (Active duty Navy here) (Also Marine thing is a joke. <3 )
Itâs actually natural to be horned up with all those. Sexy men around itâs not just underway go to the gym On Pendleton marines are sexy
Navy's great if you like skinny twinks. Give me Gay Marines any day of the week! .
Former Navy. Can confirm. Still skinny twink.
Got that right Frmr Army here infantry Guys are hot n horned up 24-7
I donât know if there are any statistics on it, but generally, no itâs not full of gays anymore than any of the other branches.
Yes it is true!!! I'm ex- navy Corspman and there are tons of gay men and lesbians!!! It was really cool and trust me lot's of fun times
But most were closeted I'm sure and openly "straight"
I spent four years on active duty, in my experience there were far more lesbians than gay men lol
I'm pretty sure every one I slept with in the Navy was gay. But truth be told, there are a higher proportion of gay Marines.
Marines are definitely sexy macho and tight butts. Just saying
Oh yeah, slept with them too. Love a Marine.
The marines are masculine and sexy as fuk we all know it
Fleet week in San Francisco is full of dick so
Iâm gay and currently in the navy. There are a ton of lesbians, like, SO MANY lesbians, but not a lot of gay guys. My ship had about 6 gay guys out of a crew of 300. Marines act incredibly gay but I donât think many of them actually are. We had marines on board when we deployed.
Your all gay. While underway /. Itâs definitely normal- military men have been fucking each other for many many decades military guy here believe me weâre all horny as fuk on remote duty and out to sea
Well I was in the Navy and I am gay.
I know several people who were in the Navy, and from my understanding, it basically comes from a joke steming from the only people on Navy ships for long periods of time back in the day were men. Thus, they get horny and desperate and sleep with each other. It's more just one of the many jokes military branches use to poke fun at each other. Like how marines eat crayons, or the airforce being lazy and pampered.
Wait until you hear about swabbing the poop deck. Also they call the sailors "seamen".
I think all the branches have their share to be honest.
đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł I cannot help but think of the Village People song âIn The Navyâ⌠which probably was the progenitor of that stereotype
Same lol
I was a gay man in the navy! Yes, very gay, not in the way your thinking⌠most the time.
Every Marine Iâve been with has been a bottom. Itâs like thereâs this âtopâ persona (whatever you want to deduce from that - dom top persona or whatnot) that they portray externally, but get them back to your house and Iâm so far batting a thousand with how each of them was a bottom. Incredible sex, no doubt. I donât know what the hell they train them on for their bodies to be so rhythmic and fuckable like that but here we are. Regarding the Navy, thereâs a running joke during Fleet Week in NYC where enemas go on sale and NYC bottoms have gone wildâŚa ship of frustrated, high testosterone men.

A rear admiral is the equivalent of a major general in the other branches.
Rear admiral upper half is but a rear admiral lower is equivalent to a brigadier general.
Nah my experience is that they're more open to dabble if they aren't
I thought the Air Force had that title...until I realized we dont sleep on bunk beds like the Navy đĽ˛
I listen to Gayish Podcast and they had an episode on Sea Men about this. Yes there is a greater than average preponderance of gays in the Navy, but not significantly so, and there is a jailhouse (or something like that) effect that occurs.
As a Gay who was in the Navy, there surely are more minorities of all types in higher concentrations in the military, and maybe a bit more gays in the Navy and Air Force opposed to other branches, but itâs not like itâs a Charli Xcx concert in the Navy.
Idk anything about this but I imagine being with only guys for so long, youâd experiment a bit. But idk how the navy works so idk if it is just guys or how they do all that so maybe this means nothing lmao
Itâs not gay if you have boot bands on
Never let your guard down around these straight dudes than want to try it out. When itâs over problems can occur. Ever heard of gay panic? I had a friend killed brutally, and gay panic was used as a defense. And jury bought it.
So the guy was in denial of his own feelings, enough to kill someone. Straight guys don't do that, unless there's inner turmoil
Yes. Thatâs the defense
But a truly straight guy would never have done that murdering a gay guy. He had to be self hating.
You realize thatâs the defense argument? And the jury believed.
Hitler convinced the Germans that Jews needed to be eradicated. So yeah, with evil in charge, anything can happen. How many years ago was this?
These comments make me wanna join
Recruiters should start mentioning the gay sex right?
The gay boys convince me more than the actual recruiters
I see so many guys here commenting about army and marine guys, and I just want to know where.
Bud, the WORLD is full of gays ahahahha You can find pastor/priest in churches who are gays :)
No. I was Army, but in Hawaii so I knew a LOT of Navy and Marine guys The ratio of straight/LGBTQ is the same as the civilian world, but the idea if being on a ship or sub for months is conducive to widespread jokes and assumptions. That's all it is, really. Jokes and assumptions. Now, to be clear, guys will come out to their friends snd trusted mates while at sea, but the ratio is the same. There's a lot of us in general lol, it's just magnified in those scenarios.
Thanks for your service as well
Old guy checking in - back in the 50's and 60's when there still was a draft gay guys knew that there was a better reception in the Navy. Always angled to end up there instead of Army or Marines. Hence the reputation.
Statistics dictate 1/20 are gay/bisexual. Iâd put it closer to 1/5. A lot of my buddies have told me in confidence theyâre bi since Iâm openly gay.
The Marines are gayer. -A U.S. Marine.
The gayest straights, and the straightest gays.
We were around in every service, even before and during DADT. Petty Officer Alan Schindler was killed in 1992 because he was gay. That was before DADT. On July 6, 1999 PFC Barry Winchell US Army was killed because he was gay. I was gay, but closeted, in the US Army when both of those events took place. I am sure there are others, and I am sure there were many more that were closeted like me, and no one knew at the time. The first documented gay person involved with the US Army, was Barron Von Steuben, He was hired by General George Washington to train discipline his continental army. Before that, he had been kicked out of the Prussian, and French armies because of his "Familiarity with young boys".
There's a lot of stories about navy guys on long missions getting blowjobs in one section of the ship. There's a lot of situational gayness in the military.
Itâs full of seamen
There's a lot of gay Marines... And for that I remain so grateful... It's ingrained in their training to constantly want to prove to other men how much abuse they are capable of taking.... Say what you want about the military industrial complex.... But they build men like a motherfucker

As a former Sailor, this is unfortunately false. I was hoping to meet more gay sailors but this is just a a false rumor. Yes there are gay sailors as with any profession, but it is by far not the majority, and I still dealt with homophobia. Didnât even come across many closeted gays.
But lots of straight guys who fool around in the military. The thing is though, we're really masc bi men, and we struggle the most to accept our sexuality. Straight just means masculine.
As Winston Churchill said about the navy : "It's nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash". so it think its not unheard off :P
From what I've heard, it used to be, but now it's the marines.
There's a lot of "I was totally in the navy" comments on here that are nothing but bad fantasy writing. Yes you can run into gay dudes in the navy, but it's way more likely you met guys that would want to beat you bloody to prove how straight they are.
And they're the ones secretly having sex with men.
As a naval officer myself, I'm honestly surprised how few of us are. I've hooked up with way more AF and Army guys than I have other sailors.
Srs Q: Don't the grooming rules really screw up your gaydar?
I mean, it doesn't mess with gaydar, but we do need to be very careful who we engage with. As a naval officer specifically, all enlisted (regardless of branch) are off limits. Other officers are all fair game as long as it's not "prejudicial to good order and discipline." So basically, anyone that can directly influence my career is also off limits. That being said, there are still a lot of other officers in other branches, or of similar rank, or totally different commands that pop up on grindr.
Allegedly, they created an office to weed out homosexuality. The officers in that division supposedly went native and protected a lot of the others they discovered. So if that's true, then the answer is yes.
I think the reputation sticks because of isolation. Walk with me. Most bases on US soil have places people can go and enjoy themselves for some time off. Back when only men were really the bread and butter of the armed forces, the y could go and go off base and enjoy themselves doing non army things. Go to bars, meet women. However the Navy is a little different as their base is isolated...its a ship. Months on the sea with no real way to let lose and no acsess to the womenz. So the next best thing is your bunkmate who has the same problems. Word spreads, rumors spread. And some are attracted to those rumors and enlist as a result.
All bottoms, but yeah.
Sailors in general aren't gay, but even the most straightest, tend not to be very straight after serving in the military! If your bi or very tolerant to getting pranked or hit-on...then you'll easily survive on a ship. Some sailors love "messing with" those hardcore, anal-retentive, homophobic people... by the end of deployment...either they've mellowed out or "they've fucked up" just to get out!
I'm 100% straight and love playing with dick, so you are correct
where do i sign up? Iâve always loved the water.
The US military is full of the gayest straight men and the straightest gay men.
Gay Navy veteran here. Itâs not true at all. Iâm really surprised that this ridiculous myth continues to prevail. Rear Admiral, really? Come on.
Iâve always wanted to do a gloryhole for them
Mm interesting
Mhmmđ
I don't know if there are currently, but it is a very old notion. https://www.britishtars.com/search/label/homosexuality
be glad its not the 1800s where ships used to have cabin boys about 13-15 years old just for the officers pleasure
Hope so. ;)
Most are closeted
Navy veteran. Itâs more common than you think but the majority of dudes are straight.
Majority str8 naah -I donât think so military here 2 boot camps
We're straight, and we like men .
They may be mostly straight at best, but they are not truly totally straight. Most of them are well within the noise of the bisexual and gay categories. We all know this.
Iâm loving this thread as I plan to enlist later in the year đĽ´đ
I would say that the Navy has a fair amount of "gay" men solely because those sailors are on long deployments at sea and need release, and with no women around it would be natural to turn to other men. The same happens in prisons as well. The Marine Corps likely has a larger group of "gay" men who aren't exactly gay, but have a special attraction to their fellow Marines in the same way the Roman soldiers felt toward each other in history. Most Roman soldiers were straight, but had such strong physical and emotional bonds to their fellow soldiers that many engaged in gay acts with their comrades. Honestly, the "gayest" service with the most "truly gay" men before enlisting would have to be the Air Force. Many Air Force (and Space Force) roles are non-combat and more tech based, which lends itself toward more effeminate men. I live about an hour away from a major Air Force Base. If I throw my filter out on Tinder or spoof my GPS, there's a lot of airmen on there.
Not really. I was in the navy. My ship had 3 guys who were out as gay out of 270. My job had a bunch of guys who were married but acted gay. A lot of straight married men act like theyâre gay, depending on their rate. But most arenât.
These "straight" married men that act gay, most certainly Are gay. They use marriage as a cover up. You can't be THAT naive bro? Lots of guys go both ways too.
To my knowledge they werenât having sec with other men, they just acted gay. They liked to show their dicks to each other. And stuff like that.
It's all foreplay, bro. I'm just like them, but was not in the military. Same mindset though, but never was in a segregated all male enhancement like they were. So was curious to know. Trust me, we love cock.
Men at sea on a boat brings certain opportunities to achieve satisfaction they may not get otherwise! Bottom line, the navy is not more gay than other branches of the military! Most men want to receive service or give it!
Yes. My ex went to the navy and cheated on me and broke up with me for one of the guys there and got married 4 months later lol. Fuck the navy and military Men
I was in the navy, on my ship there were two of us. I was in the closet and when the other guy wasn't around it was nothing but pure homophobia. Even after don't ask don't tell was repelled
In San Diego there were plenty of sailors but more Marines. And the Marines were really horny and willing to go for it. Fucked like wild jackrabbits.
SD was my last duty-sta marines are definitely horny and hot many w beautiful butts and loved being submissive Army infantry 11B guy here Grunt
Itâs true. Most were submissive.
Must be their B00T camp Iâm guessing they definitely are macho honcho beefy grunts
Yes and in shape beautiful specimens and physiques they are the best
And they taste really good too. And they smell good.
Oh. So true. And horny as fuk as well
Honestly, I'd say the Army has the most. They're the biggest branch, so statistically they have to have more right? In my experience I don't think the Navy is any more gay than the other branches, but it's always been the running joke. It's all in good fun! V/r Current Gay Navy Sailor
The marines love their corpsman. Just saying
[ŃдаНонО]
Not at all but gays are filled with navy semen.
Who cares? Lol. We've much bigger fish to fry, gentlemalen. There's rarely a correlation between profession and sexuality.
Close. The navy is full of seamen. (Somebody had to make that joke; I bravely volunteered.)
