Question:

Navy officer social life / s*x life?

I'm going to Navy OCS in a couple months and wanted to know what the social life was like for commissioned navy officers? I'm joining the Navy out of patriotism (not to get the ladies), but I wanted to know what kind of social opportunities there were when officers who are not out at sea. Do women prefer officers over enlisted? Are there really tons of easy women at the bars near naval bases? What are bases like overseas? Thanks for your help

  2. Bosox,

    I am going to predict that you have a short career in the Navy.

    Naval officers are professionals. They tend to be highly educated, many having masters degrees. They set an example for enlisted men to follow, and senior officers have high expectations of junior officers.

    At least once a year officers receive Naval Officers Fitness Reports from their COs (Commanding Officers). There are several areas the officer is rated on, including behavior, professionalism, and leadership.

    During my career, officers who exhibited the traits you speak of (going to bars, chasing easy women) were not seen fit for remaining in Naval service. Alcohol has been deglamorized, and while there might be a bit of drinking at officer social functions, officers who get drunk are put out.

    There is very little forgiveness in the realm of Naval officers. Promotions are highly competitive (two passovers and you're out).

    If you want to stay in for a couple years, heed this:

    1. Don't drink in public

    2. Don't party around anyone in your command beyond officer functions

    3. Don't be anywhere around 'easy' women

    4. Don't fraternize with any enlisted, and with any women officers in your command

    5. Remember, every word you say, every e-mail you send, every action you take is going to be evaluated by your DH (Department HHead), XO (Executive Officer), and CO.

    Good luck. I appreciate your patriotism.

  3. The kind of women you are talking about prefer anyone who is willing to blow all his hard earned money on them, enlisted or officer.  They are just looking for some easy money or a way out of the little town they are in.  In either case, it is not a good situation.  If you are talking about finding a woman to settle down with, then they will not care if you are an officer or not and will love you for the man you are, but more than likely you will not find one who hangs around a military base.

    You say that you are not doing it for the ladies, but just the fact that you are asking this question shows otherwise.  Besides, I'm not entirely positive on the Navy's regulations, but in the Army, it is generally frowned upon to be going into establishments like bars and clubs in uniform, specifically because too many people do it and then make asses out of themselves and bring discredit to the service.

    Watch the movie An Officer and A Gentleman.  Just imagine that, except without the "happy" ending.
