I weep for the future of the US Navy

[wagegoth]

I used to live in a town in Nevada that had a Naval air station. It was the only county in Nevada that voted IN prostitution, just because of the air station.

If anyone in the Navy had anything to do with planes, they would end up at this air station at some point in their careers, either stationed there or for a two-week or longer training period.

The brothels were set up outside the city limits (legal requirement) and right at the back entrance to the air station.

But on the nights when the squids got liberty, we would only go downtown near the casinoes if it was an emergency, and with our doors locked, as the squids would physically come out and try to pull girls out of their cars.

Sorry to hear about that. That is not right or good what they did either. Hmmm. Maybe the Navy should bring back flogging and all that.

Where they Plebes?

I doubt they were plebes. I don't think plebes are allowed off of campus. Hence the reason that the red-brick courtyard is referred to as "Red Beach" for the plebes who want to tan.

More than likely these people were midshipmen or upper classmen and more likely the middies since I'd like to hope that by the time they're on short-time to becoming officers that they have a better grasp on the whole "Officer and a Gentleman" thing.

BTW: I did send off a real postal letter to the Commandant and I'll keep you posted if/when I hear anything back from her.

Ah yes. I still have fond memories of the time I was at a base (USMC) with that kind of situation. The big-burly knuckle-dragging Private Marine who tried pulling a girl out of her car. He got her out...and he got Maced, Punched in the face and neck with a handful of keys, and a Crotch full of high-velocity foot.
