When I used to volunteer at a senior citizens home I became good friends with a man in his 80’s who was gay, and he had joined the Navy after high school. When I asked him what it was like he said it was a “wild scene” and that there were lots of hot guys, you just couldn’t let anyone catch you. He said that the Navy had far more gay or bisexual guys than anyone would believe. Being at sea for a long time with lots of very horny guys led to all kinds of secret action. He said anytime their ship pulled into a port and they were granted shore leave a lot of the guys would check into a hotel or motel together instead of looking for women or hookers, and that it wasn’t ever talked about but everyone knew what was going on in those motel or hotel rooms.
