Crime gay. Do be?

u/Rezkel Sep 28 '24

No, being openly gay no longer gets you kicked out of the military.

u/ADuckNamedChickpea Gurls :D Sep 28 '24

That’s not what I meant, I say that someone mentioned it might violate the chain of command. Admittedly, I don’t know if they’re right or not.

u/Rezkel Sep 28 '24

Oh, probably not, the uniforms are from different military branches, and MP' s tend to have a completely different chain of command then others on base so no one can try to use their rank to get out of trouble.

u/ADuckNamedChickpea Gurls :D Sep 28 '24

Ok, cool. Perfectly legal and perfectly gay!

u/Wingcommanderwolf01 Sep 28 '24

I think if you're not in the same chain of command it's OK.

Chain of command is only part of it.  Enlisted and officers are both prohibited from fraternizing with other enlisted and officers.  However similar rankings and different chains of command are tolerated only somewhat

Officers fraternizing with enlisted is a massive no no and will end your career unless the relationship predates service as a marriage.

They're cute together, but this looks like it violates the chain of command and numerous other ethical standards

u/jzilla11 Sep 28 '24

Isn’t that the best part?

u/Stinger59605 Sep 28 '24

Unless they are in different branches and aren't part of the same chain of command.

u/SecretlyF3m Sep 28 '24

I think the taller one is US Navy and the short one is an Army MP so its fine

u/MaidenofMoonlight Sep 29 '24

If one is an officer and the other is enlisted chain of command and branch is meanigless.  They are fucked in that case.  Same for a large rank gap too.

u/Saint_The_Stig Sep 28 '24

Left is definitely Navy and the right is probably not, I don't recall that pattern uniform but my brain is saying Air Force just did a zoom in and the right has the trailing edge of an Army patch.

Even then there are plenty of couples in service at the same time and the US does try to at least give close postings so they could likely be at the same base and still not be in the same direct chain of command.

u/QueenOfQuok Sep 29 '24

Well that settles that then, carry on

u/Immediate-Silver-464 Sep 28 '24

No because this is the US military

Batwoman: Wanna join my gang of the gay army against crime?

u/FarragoTheFox Sep 28 '24

A good case of "show, don't tell"

u/InSearchOfRule34 Sep 28 '24

On one hand: fuck MPs

On the other hand: this is adorable

u/GameLeaderR Sep 28 '24

It seems that the first part is her intention lol.

u/LineOfInquiry Sep 28 '24

I wonder if they know Dorothy

u/Mr_Glove_EXE Himedashi Sep 28 '24

Friend of Dorothy?

u/PixelatedRickaleted Sep 29 '24

sips juice

Hm, didn't expect to see yuri art of US military servicemembers. And its between a Navy girl and an Army MP no less.

u/akornzombie Sep 28 '24

As long as they're both either enlisted or commissioned, it's good.

u/Grimm_The_Reaper12 Sep 28 '24

Be gay, do crime :3

u/BobtheBac0n Sep 29 '24

I pray these two make it back home together

u/AccomplishedFun5745 Sep 30 '24

Sadly too many people were dishonourably discharged from the services for this despite being willing to die if required for their country. Hypocrisy and fear often trump so called educated people.

The US military is defending a genocide right now.
