Thread: I want to join the Army, but I'm bisexual...?

I really want to become a Ranger or Special Forces, but I worry that they'll find out that I'm bisexual and either DQ me before I join, or even worse, dishonorably discharge me.

I know that with Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the military has the tendency to discharge you at the mere SUSPICION of homosexuality. I'm really straight acting, and military men are not my type, so people shouldn't have any reason to suspect, but I'm really worried about it coming up in a background check.

I've only had 2 boyfriends, and I haven't seen or heard from them in years. None of my girlfriends had any idea that I was bisexual.

Any advice/comments/suggestions. Please don't insinuate that being bisexual would make be unfit to be a soldier because that's BS.

BTW, I'm perfectly fine with keeping this to myself throughout my military career.

I should also mention, that I want to go through OCS to become a Ranger or SF officer.

You should be fine. Keep it to yourself. You should defiantly be fine.

as long as you dont mention you like to take man juice in the face you will be okay.

The Army Policy Is Don't Ask Don't Tell That Means They Wont Ask. So Don't Tell Them.

You're eager to learn how to kill people?
I think that diminishes your concern about being unethical for being "bi".

You make me sick!

You don't get chaptered for suspicion. Only self-admission or known homosexual acts will get you tossed. As long as you are there to do a job and not trying to make a DADT political statement, nobody will mess with you.

Good luck and thanks for serving.

I know you stated military men aren't your type but I just wanted to point out you can't help you fall in love with and if you go Ranger/SF and go on year deployments etc you never know.

I don't care what your sexual prefrence is just wanted to point that out.
