    If you’d have joined then you’d realize your mistake. They just assumed you already had the same sense of humor somehow.

      It was during DADT and I wasn’t joking. Though since then I have met more gay marines than any other branch (I guess if you want to prove your manliness to the world…).

        Yeah. The humor in the military back then and now is best described as “It’s not gay if you say no homo!” And yet somehow also very homophobic. (Less so now than when I was in the army) It wouldn’t be hard at all to find a private flirting as a joke.
