I’m sorry but I’m literally bi, and my reaction to the helicopter guitar hero story was to outloud say ‘that’s gayer than I am what the fuck!’
Like, that’s ‘cheesy gay porno plot - chapter 1’.
Yeah… yeah.
I’ve known a … decent deal of … what I would basically call ‘totally not gay, for reals’ dude bros, high school / college guys with no conception of boundaries or consent.
Like… I did karate for a pretty long time, saw a lot of dongs in the dressing room… but like… you’d get permanently banned from a dojo for doing that.
I guess its just the uh, Spartan culture re-emerging… shove enough nearly naked dudes into cramped quarters and uh … norms change hahaha.
I guess I’d be more ‘air force’ in the sense that I’m an autistic nerd, and uh, yeah, you don’t have to tell me that plenty of nerds are actually total freaks in the sheets lol.
I’ve known some navy dudes, but 1] they were submariners, so thats a bit more intense than most other kinds of Navy situations 2] didn’t know them well enough to know their sexual habits, but at least the submariners I knew came across as brash, in your face, basically assholes, but who would flip on a dime to being holier than thou, restrained and ‘reasonable’ “experts” about shit they assumed they knew more about than they actually did.
In particular, one submariner I knew, he appointed himself squad leader in like a day long Arma 2 campaign… dude literally had us marching around the map in circles, because we were using mods that made it so you had to actually use a map, a compass, landmarks, stars… no gps / ‘you are here’ map indicators.
He couldn’t do any of that correctly, at all, and we literally spent 8 hours being lost, don’t think we ever got anywhere near our objective.
But he was extremely certain he knew where we were and which way to go and what landmark was what.
This is also so stupid and stereotypical that I still feel like I’m lying when I say ‘the submariner had no idea how to landnav’ is basically that entire story.
Lol land nav can be tough. One time in AIT we had to use a PLGR to find points on base around the class. Problem is they moved the class to the other side of the base and forgot to move the points. So after a while when nobody had returned, they went looking for us. Hours and hours later we returned to a bunch of angry drill sergeants and when we explained where we went, the guy doing the class figured out what happened, and apologized. The DS’s felt bad and we got to eat at the officers DFAC because the plebs DFAC was closed.
But yeah being in the army, you had to have a certain level of openness. It definitely takes a certain kind of person. And that person isn’t generally a normie.
That seems like roughly an equivalent level of ‘mission failed due to leadership derpitude’ hahaha, obviously different in that its real world.
Yeah I’ve never used a real world PLGR, though I’m pretty sure ACE or an ACE submodule or something overhauled the AN/PSR-11s to make them work closer to how they actually do IRL, than in the vanilla game.
Having not been in the military, what I guess I mean by land nav is just: You have a compass, a map, and your eyeballs, you’re 14, exploring during a camping trip. I wasn’t even in scouts or anything… I just read some guides, including like old army field manuals from the 80s ish, probably?
But uh, you’re gonna have to explain DS and DFAC to me… I can only emulate things so far… so many acronyms that actual vets use, that I have no clue what they are =P

AIT is… Advanced Infantry Training? … ???
Ds= Drill sergeant, DFAC= Dining Facility, and AIT is advanced individual training.
Ah! Ok. I got… 2 out of three … for one them.
Works 60% of the time, 30% of the time lol.
