How does it work for a lesbian in the army?

Yeah. I think I'm gonna talk to a recruiter.

I'm only fifteen and I'm not near ready to join haha. But honestly, how hard is it for a lesbian to be in the army? Should I tell my recruiter I'm lesbian or should I just not tell anyone? Can I never call a girl while on the base or something? My JROTC teacher, who served in Vietnam, tells me that being gay in the army isn't as taboo as they make it sound...
 
Don't ask don't tell. I know it's not fair but it is still the policy. I know plenty of people who gay/lesbian. It's really not a big deal. But no, don't tell your recruiter.
 
If u are in the U.S they have a policy Don't ask Don't tell , You will be fine as long as u don't hit on the other women. After training u can have ur own dorm or share one u'll have to get ur own phone if u want to talk to other ppl. its a hush hush thing unless u want to tell but i think u'll grow out of that stage when u get older or u may not
 
If you're gay in the military...don't ask don't tell. So keep your mouth shut about it and you'll be allowed in of you have cleared everything else.
 
The Country is week enough now the last thing we need is lesbians protecting our country. Please go to Collage and get a job as a school teacher like the rest of the lesbians.
 
you dont tell anyone your a lesbian and you dont act like a lesbian.


thus the dont ask dont tell policy. dont date girls or act gay. if you do they will throw your a$$ out.
 
Well, considering things have improved in the last few years considerably, it would probably be okay. But the Army does have a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy for gay men, so I assume the same goes for women...
 
In the Us they have a don't ask don't tell policy. Simply put they won't ask you and they expect you to keep it to yourself. If you do tell then usually it means dismisal. What I don't know about is if if just a dismsal or a dishonorable discharge. i think is just a regular dismisal. If they ever reinstate a draft that will be my excuse. I'll grab some guys nuts in front of the recruiter if it gets me out of it. I'm not saying being in the arm forces is a bad thing. To the contrary, is a necesary thing and it gives lots of people opportunities that they would normally not get. What I'm saying is that I can serve my country in better ways than going to some crappy country and getting my les blowned off by a half-azz build IED. God bless those soldiers who volunteer and sacrifice themselves for others.

Anyways, what the arm forces ask you is to keep it to yourself. in other words you cannot be openly gay as of 2009. Maybe it will be different in the future but not now. Besides, being gay does not has to get in the way of your job. Being gay is jjst a small part of what a person is. For example a mechanic is a mechanic by proffesion. A dad to his children, a husband to his wife. Maybe he contributes to the community and he is a prominent church member. Perhaps on the weekend he is a pro fisherman so on and so forth. His sex life is just a part fo who he is. Has this man eing gay then only that one part of his lfe gets affected. He can still be a pro fisherman in the weekends, a dad to his children, a contributing member of society so on and so forth.
 
you know the don't ask don't tell that is exactly what you do. you can be your own person. its not that badi mean your life is your life but you dont' go around saying you are. that you never admit maybe some day you can but why in the world would yu anyhow its no ones business but your own.
