Why are you telling me how enlistment works? You obviously have not read my posts. We are a military family. Third generation.

And honey, it is flying now! Flipping, flying all around, with pink feathers! No one will be able to “bully” the poor little gay boys! Oh no...check out what happens in the rest of society.

I don’t know where you live but I have two sons, one active now and one on delayed entry and enlistment is NOT what it used to be. They have so many enlistee’s that they can pick and choose. No more GED’s for the Army, the Marines, good luck, at least a 10 mo. wait after enlistment to get to Boot Camp. See how hard it is to get an Airborne/Ranger Contract. 300+ PT scores are not uncommon either. I was very surprised to find how many they let just walk out of Basic, but they have so many “A” recruits they don’t need them and they don’t want to waste their time.

The recruiting process for my son’s was way different than that of my brothers.
