With the official repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" less than a month away, members of the military can expect to see a new gay-themed magazine available at military exchange stores on Sept. 20, the same day the repeal goes into effect.
The gay-advocacy group OutServe launched the magazine last Spring and has already produced two editions. The group says its September edition will be available for free at select Army and Air Force bases.
According to the group's website OutServe Magazineis a publication that "highlights the contributions that actively serving LGBTs are making to the United States military, discusses and educates readers about DADT repeal policies, and advocates for the continued fight for equality for all Americans."
The new September edition will feature a photo spread of nearly 100 people who are both active duty service members and members of OutServe. It will presumably be the first time these individuals have made their sexuality known among the military ranks.
OutServe's online magazine features a self help section called "Ask Sarge," where readers are encouraged to discuss their problems with a mental health and substance abuse expert who has experience working at a Combat Stress Clinic in Afghanistan.
"Our first objective with the magazine is to let all the gay, lesbian, bi, and trans members currently serving know that they are not alone," OutServe's co-director, an active-duty officer who goes by the pseudonym JD Smith said in a written release. "And we also want to communicate to all troops that there are capable gay military members serving honorably, and that accepting that and moving on will make our military stronger."
Lt. Col. Tom Shrader, a spokesman for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, did not know which bases will carry the first print editions of the magazine.

There will be an increase in Jump Master Course applicants in order to meet the number of JMPI leg strap inspections required to return the 101st Airborne, (choking chickens) to jump status.
Recruiters won't have a problem filling some medical fields and there will be a lot more prostate exams for sure. ;)
Would anyone like to offer a suggestion as to why the Army and Air Force were the first victims of this magazine? Why not the Marines and the Navy?

It's going into the NavEx system, too; the newsies only used an AAFES source for their article.

Reminds me of the old joke where the JM tells the jumper either exit the door or he's going to bend him over and take him...his buddies ask, "did you jump?"
"A little....at first."

Wonder how many people will see the pile of this magazines in the PX, pick them all up, and put them in the trash can where they belong?

Check out Clerk - "Is this yours?"
Soldier - "Uhmmm, no it's not mine. It's for my Fire Team leader, (room mate). Yeah, he asked (ordered) and well, I told him I'd pick one up for him."
Check out Clerk - "Tough duty".
Soldier - "Uhmmm, yeah, I know, real embarassing. I hate the Airborne, we have JMPIs just for fun and no jumps afterwards."
PRB, I believe you are trying to lay some seeds of thought here for some young team guy to be doing manuel labor.... :)
Now if I were a devious young Team member I might just buy a subsrcription for my Team Sgt or Co Sgm to be delivered at work.....

And those practice JMPI's will probably be done in the nude. :eek:
This could bring a whole new meaning to "Check Equipment!"
And let us not forget "Sound off for equipment check!" Instead of just getting slapped on the ass you might just get fondled and/or groped. :eek:
Let's face it, the whole jump command process could now take longer. Some thought may have to be given with regards to starting the jump commands earlier than 10 minutes.

Now if I were a devious young Team member I might just buy a subsrcription for my Team Sgt or Co Sgm to be delivered at work..... During IOBC a few of us did that to the class "DH" (he was an aggie. It was the VMI guy's idea.)
Guess he shouldn't have 1) been braggin about his cool assignment, 2) not hogged a long course and well, probably 3) shouldn't of been such a DH.
I'm pretty sure there was a stack of mail waiting for him . . . in the Batalion Commander's office.
Actually the down side will be the elimination of PB PH etc in the PX. Oh and say goodbye the SI's edition after the Super Bowl.

This thing's for real? The PX here is pretty bare right now, having been gone through recently by 2 ea BCT-sized locusts... On the other hand, full-size King James bibles (incl OT) are still just $6.45 and well-stocked. Maybe that's an indicator.

Had a buddy that had a brit spitfire ragtop at Bragg...Frank Kelley taped a male centerfold from Playgirl on the pasenger door and Neil drove home from Bragg with the top down, in uniform, and couldn't understand why everyone was giving him the stink eye. Lol...man was he pissed
At this rate, within 10 years, pedophiles will be accepted.
And then shiteaters, and people who screw animals, etc....
Why can't people understand that "progressivism" means the exact opposite?

Funny.
Frank K. was definately a man of character. Was that SOG veteran Neil who drove a black spitfire? Knew them both.

Frank was a bonafied wildman, dif Neil tho but he was one of Franks fav targets.
Might as well get over it. It's here to stay. The military will figure this MINOR interruption out. Then do what it always do's. Complete the Mission.
