So a dude came up to me at work asking me where I cut my hair, and how long it took to grow out. It was a tad awkward cuz really, it was at work and in public. I said thanks, and he said that he really loved myhair cut (really?), then he smiled and walked away. I probably would have probed myself, but he wasn't my type. But it was a nice ego boost monetheless.

*Snatches gay cards* How can you guys watch Crazy, Stupid, Love (AND Drive!) and NOT think nasty thoughts about Ryan Gosling? I honestly don't even remember the plot of the movie because I kept falling in and out of consciousness. For shame.
And I can't believe you never got a callback. I HAVE heard that they're pretty selective nowadays (I joined in 07) due to the amount of people trying to get in. I'd say try again if you're ever interested, it's the best thing I've ever done! :) Wooo a fellow AFer! Eglin AFB? Nice. I have a friend heading over there now. I've been at Kadena AB forever now. Comm guy here, what's your AFSC?
There's also waaaaay too many closet cases in the military. Can't say I blame them, but once I started telling people it became much better for me. I've only had one incident where someone tried to kill me but we're actually pretty cool now. |

It was about my handwriting. I got complimented about it by a handsome lawyer [we exchanged glances/looks a couple of times]. Apparently, my handwriting is (quoting him): "beautiful"... he seemed surprised. This is what he read: http://www.abload.de/img/img_20120216_1447173ry28.jpg I used to have such a cool handwriting back in college: http://www.abload.de/img/img_20120216_1854564pdk3.jpg Sometimes I miss college, I was such a nerd! :P |

That's quite an amazing handwriting, Sagitario. :O
Mine was like that back in school (until high school); with time I just got lazy. Now, many refer to my hand writing as "girl handwriting" which according to people is still "better than most guys"; though the letters are all fat and sometime with smiley faces and hearts and drawings.. :p |

Gaaah... lol. I knew I would have to explain that one. It may sound extremely weird, but this is how I met one of my good friends. Well, once I came out it spread like wildfire. One night a group of us went bar hopping, your typical night in Okinawa. There's this one guy in the group I didn't know too well, pretty huge dude (OVERLY huge bodybuilder type). He kept looking at me the WHOLE night And not in a good way I figured he'd heard about me and didn't appreciate me being around, I shrug it off because everyone else was totally fine with it.
We ended up going back to a buddies' place to play some beerpong later that night, so naturally we all start getting wasted quick. Out of nowhere this dude starts screaming at me, saying stuff like "You should get kicked out of the military for lying about who you are" "You're going to hell" etc. This is before "Don't ask, Don't tell" got repelled so I could've really gotten into some trouble for coming out. I'm pretty calm the whole time, actually kind of amused at the situation because the guy was making a fool out of himself in front of everyone. Some people argued with him, but it was obvious this guy was blackout drunk and wasn't all there. I continue to ignore. Next thing I know this guy flips the beerpong table and tackles me to the floor, chocking me and screaming. He's so freakin huge it takes like 4 guys to get him off me (pretty much right before I lost consciousness). I woke up a second later and he was gone. People wanted to call the cops but I told them I was fine and we finished playing beerpong and laughing at what a douche this guy is. I had slight bruising but nothing too crazy. The next morning he sent me a FB message apologizing, I ignored him for a week but eventually we spoke in person (after he spent the whole week trying to talk to me of course!). He says it just threw him off that I was gay because I didn't "seem like one", I explained to him not all gays are like the ones you see on TV (and there's nothing wrong with them!). He also said he was completely wasted and only remembered bits and pieces from that night. We patched things up, but obviously it took a while before I was comfortable being around him. This happened a couple of years ago, when I tell you guys he's done a complete 180 that's an understatement. He's a pretty good friend of mine now. He always says how I "changed his life" with his opinion on gays. *tears* =D TL;DR: Got attacked one night by a random homophobic asshat, eventually patched things up with said asshat, asshat is now a good friend a couple years later. =) |

4B0X1, Bioenvironmental. I'm a double cross-trainee... previously a 3C0X2, and prior to that a 2E0X1, all before they merged to the 3D series. Between jumping around multiple job specialties and coming out of the closet, I've had a very unusual military career. Can't say I've been choked by a homophobe yet, though the gay jokes are at full capacity (and make me laugh).

My oh my ZeroFate.
I would be absolutely terrified in that situation. I commend you for forgiving him though, I would personally never have the heart to forgive someone who attempted to strangle me so out of the blue like that. Glad to hear that he's a changed person now, hopefully this acceptance surges throughout the US one day. Also welcome to all of the new GayGAFfers! This place is pretty chill and if you have Skype, I encourage you to join us there. ~ No one in here bites, enjoy your time here. :) |
