OK, so I talked to the Lt. Cmdr. in the Navy Friday, and he was pretty good, too. He was honest about what ship life is like (if you're wondering, it sucks!), but he also reassured me about the my atypical personality and the more relaxed life in the Navy compared to the Army and Marines (Air Force is still the most relaxed, though) He even said he

join the navy! navy is more fun. i mean yes you get the homophobic jokes, etc, but it's fun... and the uniforms rock!

Yeah, I do think I will end up there, partly because of family history, and partly because their uniforms do rock most heavily! I wouldn't mind the homophobic jokes if I got them on account of having a sense of humour, not considering being homosexual and insult, and my already throwing off the gay-dar of straight and gay people alike, so it's nothing new. It'd only be bad when a woman I'm interested in thinks I'm gay.

But the Air Force still has the relaxed angle holding my attention (although my eyes are too bad to fly ><).

i'm mostly biased cuz dad was in the navy. had a friend who was in the air force who had bad eyesight and they made her wear these awful glasses. BCG's as in Birth Control Glasses. cuz they were that ugly. and she was a model. and they were still that ugly. so that's another vote for the navy. of course the gay thing could be a problem. just make sure you throw "motherfuck" or some variant thereof around in your conversation. it's a very hetero word.

Unfortunately, the glasses thing is moot as it's the same in all branches, although after one is no longer considered a recruit, civilian glasses are permissible-they just have to be pretty conservative in style.
