The first openly gay homecoming kiss for US Navy
 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...p-returns.html

Seems like the repeal of DADT policy has affected one of the military's oldest traditions.
Skipper said the crew's reaction to the raffle for the first kiss was positive.
A RAFFLE? :confused::confused::rolleyes:

Streck-Fu 12-22-2011 11:56

I'm going to have to watch the video of that a few more times before I can form an opinion one way or another.....LINK

Pete 12-22-2011 12:52

If.....
 
If the MSM didn't report it - would it be news?

The "Raffle" as you seem confused about, is something the Navy has done for a long time.

That, is nothing new.

I know what a raffle is. But same sex homecoming kiss raffle? It sounded new to me.

Sir, given the fact that I'm new here, I volunteer to do the leg work. Plus, I work for the navy, I'm already used to dealing with squids. :D:D

Question: what does MSM stand for?

CA_TacMedic 12-22-2011 14:57

MSM--Main Stream Media.

I would have kept that quiet for awhile. This anything goes crap is going to destroy the military.

That's what I thought.

Side benefit is that the Captain doesn't have to worry about whether she will be pregnant when its time to ship out again.

Oh well, if the military ends up shattered by the current chain of events I'll just recycle myself somewhere else...
Hopefully it won't, I only have the last 35 years to go before I can retire... :(:mad:

Priest 12-22-2011 20:32

Wonder what the reactions would be if it were two dudes that we all saw locking lips on the morning news?

Utah Bob 12-22-2011 20:51

20 bucks says Playboy or Hustler contacts both of them within the week.

"The U.S. Navy. 1,000 sailors go to sea, 500 couples return."

We are now going to have to re-think this old heckle.

I disagree. I think this only reinforces the heckle by showing it retains its applicability and implications with women serving aboard the ships. :D

Is that in line with the sentencing guidlines or did you just make that up?

Yep, hot. Has to be a MSM and PR photo op. Definately not your average WAVE!

Fonzy 12-25-2011 01:19

I just got back from the sandbox so I'm a little behind the times, I just recently found out about this from a Christmas party.

I'm from the area and this was on the local news. There is kind of an unspoken public outcry about this; a lot of people feel that since DADT was repealed the "lottery" was a little fixed to find an attractive female gay soldier for the first kiss in front of the media back home.

Conspiracy theorizing? Maybe. But stranger things have happened.

Regards,

Sgt. Fonzy

Some guys in their late 20-early 40's or so think two gals is a turn on. Well, maybe the gals think vice versa. I do not know. I do believe the gay crap is killing the military. I guess the CO's and senior NCO's will need to go to gay sensitivity training now. What hogwash.

That could be "empathy course 2.0 for the army" :D
After fake breasts and baby belly, same sex relationships course. :D:D
