Gay kid getting ready to join the army:

"I packed my bags with skill and organization, adding enough clothes so that I could carefully rotate outfits for the entire session. Thirteen weeks is a long time. What if I saw the same people over and over? Plus they might have formal nights."

Formal nights! I can't, I love that kid so much and I love all the gays right now, bless us; any excuse to dress and impress!

"We had earned the privilege to wear our trousers gathered up against our boot tops; and lost it. [...] I came in boot camp with a strong fashion sense, so this slight was slightly more personal."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love this kid so much. He's a perfect example of how a minor inconvenience, even in the army, can be felt and expressed through the gay lens.

Closeted gay and wannabe Marine at the recruitment center, 1979:

"'Have you practiced or supported homosexual activities?' he asked.
'No'.
Actually, I had practiced in high school with Casey, the quarterback. I did support him in the shower once."

Oh, I am loving this already!

Louis Muñoz Thanks for sharing, Emanuel! As ex-military myself, I can't say that I worried about outfits for any potential formal nights during Basic Training, but... maybe I should have!

You're very welcome :) I was in the army, too, only for a year but same, I can't say outfits was my number one worry before joining. And yes, I'm gutted we didn't have formal nights lol that should definitely be part of basic training!
