Thread: Meeting Women

    Meeting Women

    Is it hard to meet women while in the infantry? That is definitely not why I am joining the Marines but what is the female scene like? Are certain bases better for meeting women then others? Obviously it is hard to stay with a girl for a long time while in the infantry, but I do want to be able to have some fun.

    If you don't like the Chaplain's tea socials take a look at this thread to get an idea of what else is on the menu:

    Come on now. Please tell us you are just bored and looking for something to do. It is hard to stay with a girl for a long time while you are in the infantry? Can you explain why it would be any easier to stay with a woman while you were in artillery? And it is just as easy or hard to meet a woman while being in the infantry as it is to meet a woman while being an admin specialist, or a cook at McDonalds for that matter. The uniform isn't going to make women love you, nor will it make them (at least not all of them) hate you. As for bases, there are more women around some bases than others. But, you don't need to worry about that. You won't be going to a base because of the female population, but rather the needs of the Corps.

    I'd say it does make a difference.

    In the infantry you could be stationed at Camp Schwab, Okinawa where females are few. I mean civilian and military.

    Also, in an infantry unit you do not have any females. Likewise in an Engineer Support unit there are tons.

    Engineers UP!

    LOL! I hear you on that one Greybeard! I thought I wasn't going to be able to roll up my sleeves on my utilities because my forearms were getting so big!

    Women are where you find them... Quality is another issue. I used to hang with a 0321 from my hometown and his philosphy was that if you could develop a taste for fat and/or ugly women, you could have a different one every night for the rest of your life. He's married to a beautiful woman now with six kids... LOL!

    Anyways, the uniform or branch ain't about chasing tail... If that's what you're looking for, then you're there for the wrong reasons.

    I was in Gitmo in '68 with 2/8 and we had a saying;"there's a woman behind every tree, but there ain't no trees"!

    Marines can meet women wherever they go. Even the ugly ones. Your primary concern should be for your Corps and the mission at hand. Everything else will take care of itself. Many women will not understand what is means to be a Marine's lady or wife. Besides, relationships start and end all the time. You need to be sure that the Marine Corps is your first concern. If you joined the Corps to enter some type of dating service, you entered the wrong door.

    Leroy, get it right... it's Coast Highway now.. Hill Street had too much negative stigma attached to it now that Oceanside is trying to be upscale.

    Come on we had 3 females when I was stationed on Schwab in '97-'98... Granted one was more manly than most marines stationed there, another was married, and the third took care of 50% of the base... Taking the USO buses down south wasn't too bad, about an hour... There you could find all the women you wanted...

    Dad said two things come out of the military. Divorces and alcoholics. I asked him what he came out with and he said 'luck'. Seriously, don't worry about women. They are more trouble than they are worth half the time and believe me, if you want to find someone for a nite or two it shouldn't be hard if you put your mind to it. As for long term, doing that as an active Marine probably isn't the best idea while you are younger. You'll end up having a kid with her, you will ship somewhere else, she won't want to and you will have to pay child support forever.

    Keep your mind and eyes focus on the task at hand - that's the United States Marine Corps. Otherwise, purchase a blow-up dollie.
