lol Who am I messing with exactly? Should I be scared? www.FourWheelerHB.com

I think he's angling for a "put on a bikini and take a picture with today's newpaper so you can prove it's really you/yours/you're not a dude" again. In the summer I'll invite everyone over for a party (at night, of course - can't mess with the skydiving sunlight hours). You are just too smart for me. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I don't think I've ever seen a man admit doing any form of purring before. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I agree with both of you. Obama never explained what he meant by change and no matter what he does a segment of the population will not be happy. So it seems we're going back to the Clinton years without the balanced budget. A time when we risked life and limb to save whites from genocide but not blacks. When saving millions from starving was honorable and rewarding until the bullets started flying. When we encourage and promise support of a revolution in a middle eastern country and then pull our support at the last minute allowing the revolutionaries to be slaughtered. HE said change NOT change back. www.FourWheelerHB.com

No it has nothing to do with 'gay.' Your post just reminded me of that particularly interesting evening many many moons ago. Oh and there was no stall and the bathroom was just large enough to fit the 3 of us. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Hah here it's surfing, snowboarding, and riding....oh and skydiving too. I know....I'm a dick. www.FourWheelerHB.com

You are so full of shit...That is totally not your pool. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Nah, no way. Gay men and women have been sharing the same heads at bars for as long as I can remember... and I ain't gonna say how long that is.... but it's a long time I once had an 'experience' with a straight woman in the women's bathroom at a gay bar with a lesbian watching while she urinated. There really isn't smilie that can follow that statement so I'll just leave it alone. www.FourWheelerHB.com

So, are you really going to say that the issue doesn't deal with sexuality? (Just busting your balls ) Am 100% for gay people serving, regardless of whether or not they choose to "out" themselves. Agree that some people might take issue with it, but more align with the previous poster that mentions the transition time until the "old guard" gets out, and most of the prejudice disappears. .jim lol Ok I'm all done being misunderstood in tis thread. Jesus Christ people. www.FourWheelerHB.com

So what is the cause of your proposed potential requirement of separate bathrooms? .jim Prejudice and homophobia. People will complain and precedence is already set with separate heads for men and women. And we are talking communal facilities where the showers and toilets have no curtains, walls, or doors. FYI: I am not against a change in this policy. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Well after rereading my original post I wasn't clear about what issues would arise regarding bathroom facilities. But I do find it somewhat amusing some thought the issue to be sexual. I swear you skydivers need to get your heads out of the gutter. edited to add: pun not intended. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I'm not suggesting it is a problem with you or anyone else specifically... I am merely condsidering the idea that military personnel are generally adults and as such should be capable of treating others with a modicom or respect... No it wasn't you. I t was the two good folks prior to you who saw my opinion as sexual and homophobic in nature when it certainly was not. www.FourWheelerHB.com

How did you guys turn my opinion of heads becoming a complicated issue to a personal issue with me? People (not me) will have issue with sharing the same head with an openly gay counterpart. It's not that complicated of an idea ESPECIALLY when considering this was the case for blacks in America not very long ago. I'm not even suggesting there needs to segregation but I am suggesting this will be a major issue that needs to be addressed. www.FourWheelerHB.com

In my experience, I was absolutely shocked at the swiftness and violence of the reaction to the situation. I think a time can and will come when sexual orientation is irrelevant to military service, but right now may not be the best time to start down that road with the Marines. I'm not sure what you mean by violent but swift is correct. If a Marine is discovered to be homosexual they are immediately separated from their unit and removed from service. At least that's what I witnessed while I was in. However I do feel the Marines would likely be the best equipped to adapt to such a change in policy. Ridicule and harrassment from individual Marines is a different story all together and will likely take a tremendous amount of time and training before the whole of the Corps becomes accustomed to such a policy. Where things become complicated is the use of heads (restroom and shower facilities for you civi's). We already have male and female heads. Will we need a gay head as well. You betcha. Will we need to segregate the heads for gale males and lesbians? Eventually. THAT is the only problem I can foresee. Combat and MOS restrictions aren't necessary in my mind. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Um did you? I mean it's the freakin headline for christs sake. But you just proved my point the writer is a dipshit. www.FourWheelerHB.com

What the fuck is wrong with that journalist? Divorced and separated are two different things. She just might have a case but the writer is too fucking dumb to make it clear to us. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Can you elaborate on this? I don't think of it as unworkable and MOS restrictions never crossed my mind. www.FourWheelerHB.com

lol nice shirt! www.FourWheelerHB.com

you must be in one of those kindler gentler services. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe DNA testing works that way. I think it can exonerate soemone but not prove their guilt. www.FourWheelerHB.com

agreed. www.FourWheelerHB.com

One would have to be dishonest to argue our system is infallible and no innocents were ever executed. IMHO www.FourWheelerHB.com

Too long to list. www.FourWheelerHB.com

HAH! www.FourWheelerHB.com
