Obama to call for 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' repeal, adviser says

I know of a Sergeant that caught two of his Soldiers having gay sex in the back of a humvee. Both were discharged under DADT.

As would a male and female soldier doing the same thing, I presume.

Only if they were punishable under Article 125.

I knew of a battalion commander once that was cashiered under Article 125 after he was caught getting head from one of his female NCO's in the parking lot of battalion headquarters. The female received a field grade Article 15, which cost her two pay grades, 30 days confinement and forfiture of 60 days pay.

Personally, I think they should have also been subject to Article 999, Stupidity.
 
You do understand that basic training is only two months long and that training doesn't end with graduation? You really don't have a clue how the military works, do you?

I did basic, then AIT (a total of 6 or 7 months). After that, my training days were over. From then on, it was just a job until I got out.

You were obviously a serious POG, then, if you didn't do any kind of training after you left BCT and AIT. In a combat arms unit, training never ends; not even in a combat zone.

I wasn't combat. I was a hospital medic with a nice cushy job. Never went to the field and never had to wear fatigues (except for a badge I tested for over a one week period) after I left basic :mrgreen:
 
Nope. They might get in trouble, but won't be discharged.

It really depends on the situation as to whether they would get discharged or not...At least that is the case in the Navy...

A POG of the highest order.

Its post #417


Here is the link Navy posted: Servicemembers Legal Defense Network

Wonder why Navy is now running away from his link? Here's why:

Military Attitudes
73 percent of military personnel are comfortable with lesbians and gays (Zogby International, 2006).
The younger generations, those who fight America's 21st century wars, largely don't care about whether someone is gay or not-and they do not link job performance with sexual orientation.
One in four U.S. troops who served in Afghanistan or Iraq knows a member of their unit who is gay (Zogby, 2006).
The Public Overwhelmingly Supports Lifting the Ban
Majorities of weekly churchgoers (60 percent), conservatives (58 percent), and Republicans (58 percent) now favor repeal (Gallup, 2009).
Seventy-five percent of Americans support gays serving openly - up from just 44 percent in 1993 (ABC News/Washington Post, 2008).
Ban Hurts Military Readiness
The U.S. must recruit and retain the greatest number of the best and brightest-especially during two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The military has discharged almost 800 mission-critical troops and at least 59 Arabic and nine Farsi linguists under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the last five years.


Navy obviously didn't read his own link before posting it. It disproves everything he has been saying for the last 10 pages.


I've confused the posts. Thanks for finding this.
