Obama to call for 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' repeal, adviser says

I know of a Sergeant that caught two of his Soldiers having gay sex in the back of a humvee. Both were discharged under DADT.

As would a male and female soldier doing the same thing, I presume.

Only if they were punishable under Article 125.

I knew of a battalion commander once that was cashiered under Article 125 after he was caught getting head from one of his female NCO's in the parking lot of battalion headquarters. The female received a field grade Article 15, which cost her two pay grades, 30 days confinement and forfiture of 60 days pay.

Personally, I think they should have also been subject to Article 999, Stupidity.
 
You do understand that basic training is only two months long and that training doesn't end with graduation? You really don't have a clue how the military works, do you?

I did basic, then AIT (a total of 6 or 7 months). After that, my training days were over. From then on, it was just a job until I got out.

You were obviously a serious POG, then, if you didn't do any kind of training after you left BCT and AIT. In a combat arms unit, training never ends; not even in a combat zone.

I wasn't combat. I was a hospital medic with a nice cushy job. Never went to the field and never had to wear fatigues (except for a badge I tested for over a one week period) after I left basic :mrgreen:
 
Nope. They might get in trouble, but won't be discharged.

It really depends on the situation as to whether they would get discharged or not...At least that is the case in the Navy...

A POG of the highest order.
 


I've confused the posts. Thanks for finding this.
