Does anyone know if they'll let lesbians in the Air Force?

Thanks to democrats, they will if the lesbian doesn't let anyone know that they are.\n\nLet me try to give an explination as to why it is not "stupid" t  not let homosexuals in the military as a poster under me feels it is.\n\nYou must try to think about from an objective point of view.. First of all, you could say that the homosexual soldiers could shower/bunk with the opposite sex, but this is not a logical solution: First of all, what happens when you have more than one? Then they are bunked together and you have the same problems you face placing males and females together. Let's not even get into the situation of straight males claiming to be gay just to shower and bunk with the females. Next, whether you want to accept it or not there are a lot of cultures around the world that are not accepting of homosexuality. One of the jobs of the military is to represent the United States wherever we go. You cannot keep up a professional appearance when you have those activities going on in front of people who are deeply offended by such things. There are many factors you must consider when it comes to such things; it's not just a "macho homophobic" attitude or whatever anger people want to throw around.

Have you ever been with a female before?  I don't think you're a lesbian because you have admitted that you want to marry your boyfriend and have children with him.  I think you're just curious about being with a woman.  If it's only for the sexual aspect of it, why not let your boyfriend watch?  That should please all parties involved.  :O)

The role or lack of role of the lesbian in women's sports and the male homosexual in dancing has been a debatable issue for quite some time.  At one time it was practical considered a 'sure thing' that any male dancer or any female involved in professional sports was 'q u e e r,' and in those less enlightened times, subject and worthy of scorn.  Since Title IX passed in 1972 and vastly impacted women's sports and other college scholarships and equitable distribution of activities funds in high school in particular are now legislated, the number of women active in athletics has multiplied nine or tenfold.  Worrying about 'homosexuality' of female athletes is far less a consideration than it once was as sports for girls is no longer thought of as 'manly' and unfeminine and unworthy of a real lady's time.  Now the only consideration is how many small minds still worry about such things.

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, it does depend on your job(afsc), but there are many opportunities to travel.  I am in the Air Force and do enjoy it.   I would join the Air Force, because you are not stuck on a ship for over six months, seasickness, and if you are a straight male the Air Force does have more women serving.  The Air Force gets better funding than the other branches, we have better bases, better medical facilities, etc. If you are to join and looking to travel, ask the recruiter what jobs can you travel a lot with...GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure. But after the state sticks you in yours, report back to us. I'm interested to know if they are still serving gruel, and whether you get your knuckles rasped by a ruler when you misbehave. The workers their, if stereotype holds, will all be disgruntled, closeted lesbians.

Yes...for men and women it is possible to perform a SIE (Self-Initiated Elimination) from basic training.  If you select do to this while at basic training, they will remove you from your flight silently (so as not to embarass you) and you will be sent home.  You may be required to make reparitions on any contracts you signed (e.g. give back your bonus money or any benefits) and you will, in most cases, not be allowed to re-join the military at any future point.  \n\nRight after basic training, you have already signed your contract, and barring issues like conscientiously objecting, coming out as a homosexual, or failing to meet retention standards, you will not be able to easily separate from the Air Force.\n\nI certainly recommend the Air Force though!

Lesbians are violent macho motorcycle-fixing fist-fighting vagina hunters desperate enough to have a U-Haul hitched to their car at all times to help their byotch move in at a moment's notice...\n\n...at least that's what LOTS of str8 girls think.\n\nAnd offense?  Hell yes-- but you might as well get ready for a lifetime of stupid people who barely have time to be distracted from their double-mocha-freeky-latte rather than experience things and people that might involve something slighty different from themselves.\n\nMove on -- and find someone more tolerant, because, is it REALLY worth your time to convert some idiot's opinion in your first semester?  Save your time for studying and hangin with your tolerant/accepting friends-- unless you fit the stereotype above...\n\n\nGood Luck :)

Don't know exactly. General Hams was the first female general in US Air Force and Brig. Genral Marcelite J. Harris - the first black female general. \nIn the 2004 Air Force 19.6 % of the force was female.\n*18.2 percent of the officers were women and 20 percent of the enlisted corps was women.\n* 60.2 percent of the female officers are line officers; 39.8 percent are non-line.\n*The population of women in the Air Force was 73,074.\n* Women first began entering pilot training in 1976, fighter pilot training in July 1993 and navigator training in 1977.\n*2004 there were 519 (3.8 percent) female pilots and 195 (4.1 percent) female navigators and over 600 enlisted crew members. \nHope it may help You.

the only options forbidden to women in the Navy:\n\nFT(but there is a corresponding rate, FC, that is open to females.  FT is a Submarine only rating)\n\nSEaL, although all SEaL source rates are open to women. \nCombat  FMSS (HM for the marines in Combat, although you can be FMF and be attached to a Marine unit, just not as a field Corpsman)) \n\nYour only limiting factor is how well you do on the ASVAB, the ratings you qualify for, and the billets available to you.  Not all ships have gone Co-ed, yet and some are just too darn small to ever go Co-ed.

Your father is correct. Women are not allowed into the SAS, the Marines (British) or the RAF Regiment, women are allowed to serve in all other roles within the British Armed Forces, except that of Roman catholic Priest! 24 years experience, 4 selecting people for the above roles. :)

Just repeat the following over and over: "If I'm not attracted to women, then I'm not a lesbian." Hopefully it'll sink in.

Um...I'm not sure I know any lesbian websites, but if you go to e-harmony.com perhaps you'll find someone there.\n\n\nwww.eharmony.com

No. It is a matter of choice. A lesbian chose to be a lesbian. It is the sexual orientation of the person.

No -- I am not lesbian but I think that if I were lesbian I would regard transsexuals as a sort of man. There are a lot of men who go for transsexuals and some hetero women do, too.
