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? |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |
