Do women throw blanket parties in their barracks in bootcamp?

Don't believe what you see in the movies (Full Metal Jacket).  Boot camp is physically and mentally demanding.  When the lights go out at taps, so do you.  Lights out at 10 reveille at 430.  All you want to do is sleep.

I'm in the Marines, so I can't speak for the soldiers out there.  But NO.  The barracks are like dorms in college.  Same idea, only we all have jobs.

In Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. in the older barracks, for the males, they sleep in bays the with anywhere between eight (which is where I stayed) to 16 people.  The newer ones are just open "starship" bays with up to 50 people in them.  \n\nThere is plenty of room, and a good part of the BCT experience.  You wont see more private accommodations till you get to Advanced Individual Training (AIT) and even better after you make it to your first duty station.

yes, we would catagorize them into when they have there period and they could be rotated accordingly. that way we have pissed of PMSing women out there kick some ass. For real though i think that women arent allowed in that situation is for there own safety from the other soldiers ie. rape. \n\n\n\n\nin reference to what blackman wrote. that may be true for some units but other units (mainly infantry) are still doing raids on houses, traffic control points, patrols as well as doing show of force missions. so cqb is still very avtive over there.

they pay all 4 years of college if you sign up for montgomery GI bill. that costs 100.00 per month from your base pay for a year. it is voluntary. do it. its a good investment. they do not shave the women's heads. women can keep their hair as long as they want as long as its pulled up so that it doesnt hang below the uniform collar. \na tip: before you ship out, go get your hair cut kinda short but not dyke short. youll need all the time you can get to get dressed in the morning. the female TIs are meaner than the men.\n\nbetter than the navy: you dont go to sea. ships quarters are cramped.\nnot as good as the navy: USAF is cutting people like a track coach at a school full of fat kids.

pretty much all communication for boot camp is limited to one 30 second phone call at the beginning to say "I got here" and snail mail the rest of the time.\n\nThey may have more access once they hit A school, but even then, it will be along the lines of 250 guys sharing ten comps at the library.

Lots of women don't even get their period due to stress during basic. If you do, no, you will not get the day off or reduced training. You will be expected to meet the same standards everyone else has to meet.

Frats are men, sororities are women. I was whats called a "little sister" for a frat. I went to all the parties and hung out with the guys, but obviously I wasn't a member.

During Basic Training the answer is absolutly not. However as soon as you get to your first base, you can decorate any way you want as long as it is neat and clean. Trash, laundry and basic housekeeping.

Yes.  She can't wear it, or she might get it caught and hurt herself during some of the physical exercises.  They take it to prevent it from being lost or stolen.  She'll get it back at the end of training.  And if you are worried that she's not advertising she's taken, don't worry.  Not many people are concerned with more than getting through that day while in boot camp, let alone picking up chicks.  It's not permitted and you don't have time, even if you did want to try.

NO!...Go ahead  I'll take the heat..call me a chauvanist if you choose.  I was in the Marine Corps in combat...I just would never want to see a woman there.  I can't justify it.  I have a daughter in the Air Force (medic) and I'm very proud of her...but infantry...absolutely not.\nThere is only one really practical reason I can offer for not allowing women in the combat mos's.  While I know that women can demonstrate significant levels of physical fitness I don't believe they have the upper body strength and size to engage in combat against men.  I believe that for them to train side by side with men would cause standards of training for men to be lowered.  Only those who have trained for infantry can appreciate this.

Yes If it is your party and you are the host and the woman is a friend of yours or an invitees wife or friends friend!!!!

I always tell my mom that as a joke lol. She hates when i do it in public. LMAO just thinking about it makes me laugh. "Damn women, the second we gave them rights, they thought they were people" And "WOMAN! Get in the kitchen where you belong" ....it's even funnier cause I'm a chick.

No, but there's an episode of Frasier where the brothers throw a dinner party, and one of the guests can do it.\nGets me laughing every time.

Women hate double standards, unless it's in their favor.\n\nIf I'm in a combat environment, I want to know that the soldier, airmen, sailor or marine next to me is physically competent to accomplish any and all tasks.  No one can have this level of certainty anymore, since this double standard is in place.

put some thick (maybe decortive) blankets up on the walls
