I see this everyday, when stationed at Ft Gordon, there were plenty of soldiers who were at ait that were openly gay, and there was no way that basic or ait made them that way
BOTTOM LINE: If you are openly admitting that you are gay, there is no way they will let you in the military. Maybe there are gays in the military, but they dont openly admit it.
No. When the Army recruiting numbers were at a all time low, they were taking EVERYONE. You can be kicked from the army at anytime for a dishonorable discharge, guys in their training period are quicker to get the boot....
a recruiters job is to get you to sign on the line, and they will do whatever they can to get you thru all the little loop holes
ds's job is to train you basic soldiering skills, not to determine if you are gay...they just look past it because they have another cycle once you are thru
wether people like to believe it or not, there are plenty of openly gays in the military and a recruiter who is good at recruiting will get you around that.
the only true way to get a recruiter off your back is telling them you contracted the hiv+ because MEPS doesnt screen gays, but they do do blood tests and the recruiter cant hide that.
Ok, so gays can get in the military I never doubted that. I'm talking about personal experience. I told a recruiter I was gay and the phone calls stopped. If they are desperate I'm sure they would take anybody they can.
I gotcha, I'm just saying that it wont always work....
I just know that a sure fire way is just to tell them you are hiv+, because they cant fix or hide blood tests
Nice, I'll use that one if they call back
