A little background on myself real quick. I've been retired from the Army for 10 years now, I currently work with a contractor, and work in a building with AIT students.
A few minutes ago, I walked to the latrine to drain the night's coffee. As I walked past the stalls, I glanced at a magazine laying on the floor in one of the stalls. It wasn't a Soldier of Fortune, not the latest Sports Illustrated, not Motorcyclist, not Field & Stream, not Guns & Ammo, not Off-Road Trucks, nor a copy of Penthouse, not even a PS magazine. It was a copy of Cosmopolitan. I mean really, Cosmo? |

Sometimes while on the shitter something to read is better than nothing. But I see your point.

He was holding it for his boyfriend and forgot to give it back.
|
|
Now that I think about it... He was probably reading it to do some recon on chicks. Those chick mags can give you some inside info... Not that I would know... I just heard.

Probably a dude entertaning himself with that late night. Real porn is probably forbidden and considered contraband. When I was deployed we didn't have maxim for the articles. Porn was on computers/usb only because there were way too many sgms who didn't have a real job besides fuck with people for having porn.
Hell, this one bored msgt was fucking with a guy because he had a georgia state flag up. Apparently that was rascist and he tore it down. Never did find out what happened since we unassed the ao rq since we were e3s. We had no interest in being around for that shitstorm. |

Don't Ask, Don't Tell is on hold, so you're bound to find things like that right now.

Must be an MI soldier....................................... gathering information.

Cosmo = poor man's Playboy and isn't considered contraband. |

Yeah, those young punks in the Army today have it easy, getting their asses blown off in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Your Army" is too busy fighting a couple wars to worry about what kind of women's magazine its soldiers are jerking off to. |

My question is what the fuck was it doing on the floor? Probably left it on the floor for the next guy and they just collect it in the morning while they shave/piss before formation. If they're in a bay there's pretty limited private time. |

It's everywhere. Growing up, I remember men talking about sports, hunting, and politics when they got together. I remember not being able to wait until I got old enough to talk like them about "adult" things....
I'm 43...still waiting. All men talk about around here is TV, videogames, and bitch about their home life. |

I remember not being able to wait until I got old enough to talk like them about "adult" things.... I'm 43...still waiting. All men talk about around here is TV, videogames, and bitch about their home life. Well, think about it for a moment. If men got together to talk about politics.......how far could it go when it probably only contained two words, said over and over again. As far as hunting goes, well, if people are doing less of it, I'd put that down to deforestation first. Sports? Doing them or watching them? If the latter, then they still should be talking about them. If the former......debatable since there are people who play them, do them on an amateur basis. But even in the Regiment, where PT such as running and flag football was daily, I don't recall that we talked about it that much, a quarter of a century ago. We went out and just did it, had fun at it (well, fun in more things than others), but we didn't dwell on it afterwards. Back to the OP: even a quarter of a century ago, Cosmo was the poor boy's "self satisfaction" motivational material. In the "modern age", I would not be surprised to find restrictions.....but then again, many of my fantasies as a child, before I came across my brother's stash, were fueled by art books and Nat'l Geographic. _________________________________________________________________ ("See, I grew up in places like this, so I just thought it was how people lived... riding around in helicopters.

When I was in basic and AIT porno was verboten. If you think about it, Cosmo is full of hot women, several of which are scantly clad. Call it porn-lite if you will, but I could think of much worse for a soldier in training to be reading than that.

1. any pages stuck together?
2. thar be some high quality motivational photography in cosmo 3. the perfume samplers can add to the experience. 4. you have forgotten what it's like to be 18. Too much horny. |

Seeing as you are in Virginia you are most likely at FT. Lee or here at Eustis. Both have a lot of females.

You know what's worse than that, When I went to Airborne last year the only magazine at the CQ desk was a copy of Gentleman's Quarterly the most Metrosexual magazine I have ever seen

In the movie HeartBreak RIdge, Gunny Highway was reading Cosmo to try to better understand his ex wife and win her back. It's just good recon, against the opposite sex, nothing wrong with that.
Lots of good tips in there, there was an article where women listed the ten worst things a guy could do right after sex, I think number one was to let the dog lick the goo off of their unit. |

Those things are like sex manuals for soccer moms. It's not a bad idea to see what freak style they're promoting this month!

The Republic may be saved!
This morning there was a copy of 4 Wheel and off road magazine, and a copy of Excellence magazine in the latrine. There is still hope. |
