You don't know and it is none of your business. Nothing about a woman's sexual behavior is any of your business unless it involves you personally, nor does her supposed promiscuity entitle anyone to disrespect her personal boundaries.

My bad. I should have been more specific. EVERY girl in my division that was sent home because they found out they were pregnant in boot camp were all crying uncontrollably and tell us their "mistakes" and such. Not ONE of them said "Oh, my silly husband and his condom broke" No.. they ALL said "waaa waa I slept with someone I didn't know and got knocked up" I might be paraphrasing it a little.

This may or may not be the case with girls in other divisions.. and if not, then I apologize

My challenge was to your demeaning terminology, and the implied misogyny. Yeah, those girls did something stupid, no argument there. There's a real news flash: young people doing stupid things! It isn't cause to use such ugly words.

Still doesn't take away from the fact that some people (guys and girls) will whore around before basic and get booted (it will just take a bit longer for the guys who do it to be found out).

You are going to need to thicken your skin a bit if you want to be able to handle being in the military.

On the contrary, YOU might want to start taming your tongue. Saying things like that in the fleet can get you into serious trouble. At least, if you say it to the wrong person.

Lets agree to diagree here...or I will have to lock this thread...KEEP IT CIVIL!

Cire's done his time and gotten out some years ago...it's in his signature, seriously. And CoolHandL, incidentally, is a Family Member, so that won't be a problem.

In the fleet, even words like this come under the harassment rules. The navy is very VERY big on maintaining a professional and gender friendly environment. Off hand comments like this can and has resulted in very serious consequences for multiple people involved, even the ones who didn't say anything. Its not a random coincidence that all sailors have to undergo Sexual Assault Prevention (SAPR) training a minimum of once every 6 months....

And to clarify I'm not knocking on anyone, but I figure now is a good time to demonstrate to DEPpers how the navy looks at these issues.

So, at MEPS they didn't check my teeth. My recruiter knew about my teeth condition and said that it's not problem. So, no paperwork about my teeth. I had 1 root canal. 1 dental flipper for front tooth. (I broke mine from falling from my bicycle when I was a child) I have 2 questions:

1) Since Navy/MEPS doesn't have anything written about my teeth, will it be a problem when I go to boot camp?
2) Will they let me wear dental flipper during boot camp? Will the dentist over there has problem with it.
