In basic training/boot camp, we were too worn out to play with ourselves plus not wanting to draw any attention from a D.I. is a huge motivator to keep your hands off of your 'gun'. Ha.
Now after boot camp, life gets back to normal and the loads flow.
Mighty_Joe: I had basic training in the 60's and as much as I have always been a "beat-off freak", I don't remember ever doing it while there. I was usually so tired when bedtime arrived plus rumors were that the DI's (or was it TI's? ...it was Air Force) would "spot" check your bunks. We always heard they put salt pepper in the food. Since I got out though I've certainly made up for lost time!
sapman1000: I AM in the Army, and we used to always just jack off in the shower, sometimes two or three guys. The showers at Ft. Gordon are long 8 man showers. GREAT place to watch others! It really didn't matter when, I would always jack off, and there were often times others who started and then stopped and left cause I was jacking off. Hmm? I have to admit, although I have had a lot of gay sex in the military, strangely enough there were never any gay overtones. It was just accepted as "normal".
All I can say that masturbation is very common in the military. Its totally unavoidable, like me when I wank so bad in the latrine back in tech school during break hours.The famous one, I got caught wanking in the AF's M984 HEMMT, so notorious that I was dubbed as NBC terminator.
Even in the Cadallac in Balad where the inside the noxious smell was so unbearable, nothing can stop me the urge on choking my chicken, one plus the TCN always fills the container with TPs.![]()
