I hope I am wrong but will wait & see what happens if barracks justice is implemented.
It is now. I come from an extended military family and we have several members currently serving. This nothing new, btw, it has been going on since we’ve had a military.
The EM always handle their own problems and do it in a way which seldom has to be repeated since lessons taught in this way are long remembered.
My husband has been an enlisted man in the army for 21 years. Barracks justice is not tolerated and hasn’t been for a very long time.
Hubby and I have discussed this issue at length and I’ve asked him what his position will be if DADT is repealed.
The thing is, he’s a by-the-book professional. He’ll keep good order and conduct and require the same, high standards with homosexual troops that he requires from everyone else.
I think that it comes as a shock to new recruits that their senior NCO’s are as involved in their personal lives as they are. In the civilian world, your boss doesn’t care if you got a ticket or got into a bar fight last weekend. In the military, holding yourself to a high standard is expected all of the time. Here at Ft Hood, senior NCO’s go out with the cops on bar patrol every Friday night. My husband has gone on a couple of these runs. They hit all the strip clubs and bars and let their presence be known. Soldiers stick out like a sore thumb and the NCO’s approach them and remind them that they are soldiers every minute of the day.
The military is not a party and homosexuals are going to have all of the same restrictions that everyone else has.
