I spent two years there. A lot of guys would head south to T.J. or PCB, and bitched about chicks shooting them down for being military. Me and my crew rolled north to Laguna/Huntington Beaches, Irvine, and Hollywood Blvd. We were gold up there.

That's friggin' bullshit. I would have reenlisted to been stationed in Bulgaria. Lol. Some cats catch all the breaks. I did spend a year in Okinawa and sailed to different countries from there, so I can't complain.
The Air Force and Army has the best duty stations, with a few landmines thrown in, like Ft. Hood, or anywhere in Kansas. The Navy has Japan, and well, the Marines basically got 3 main bases. Make it to embassy duty, though, and the world is your oyster.
If you join fight tooth and nail to get stationed abroad. A lot of hands go down when they look for guys to go overseas. From a swooping standpoint, this makes the military tolerable. If stateside, make sure you have a vehicle to get away from base on weekends.

Agreed.
Being in the military is seen as a negative to many of the girls in San Diego.

my biggest concern is where the hell am i going to get women? im in a good situation right now messing around with a married girl and having a couple booty calls at night. but if i join the military how am i going to satisfy my bad habit of girls? just wondering if you guys know which jobs or bases are best...
paid vacation every month ain't so bad either...
Read carefully...
DONT GO ENLISTED, for the love of God. No reason to.
Go sign up and join ur hometowns college Air Force ROTC program. They will pay for your tuition and pay you a monthly stipend.
Even if you are DUMB as bricks gues what you can major in ANYTHING. So if your worried about not cutting University or school is not for you go major in PE! It is easy as shit and your doing gym stype stuff 85% of the time.
You will get a college degree and actually be making money and have a good job when you graduate.
Enlisted people dont make shit and are pretty much the Officers bitches doing all the grunt work making half the money as their O counterparts.
With how EASY it is to be an Officer through ROTC there is no reason / excuse to go Enlisted.

Looks like you need to deconflict your priorities there. You want an organization to develop "discipline" in you? That by definition is ceding your notion of "freedom."
I've been there and done that, and if you're approaching military service solely as a self-help program, you're not going to be of much service to anyone. There are all kinds of private fitness bootcamps that will better suit your whims.
To GetEm... Just make sure you're joining for the right reasons, and pick a decent MOS/job. You can't voluntarily reclass until you've done two years and THEN extend/re-enlist.
As for poon, if you're willing to search for it, you will find it. Europe and Asia can be total fuck-fests if you know how to game. Stateside, as long as you can adapt to "country" culture, you'll be fine. Very few bases have super-convenient urban access. Since you mentioned that you're chill with married women, infidelity is sickeningly (to me) rampant among military females. So if you have game in hardship locations, even including Iraq and Afghanistan, you can get a piece if you're willing to cross that line.

Cheating is rampant amongst all military members. It has nothing to do with being in the military, it's because people cheat when there is distance involved, and are even more likely when there is stress or boredom. It becomes basically a guarantee when the people involved are young.

RE: Thinking of joining the military...
Spent 9 years active duty Air Force and many more years as a part-timer in the Air National Guard. I would recommend going into the military for many reasons but the least of which would be for chicks. Definitely recommend going in as an officer but if you can't, you have to ask yourself what you want to do and get out the most out of it. Each service has it's pluses and minuses and what job you do within each service has a big impact on lifestyle, promotions, etc.... . If you do go in, milk Uncle Sam for all he's worth with all of the education and training opportunities available to you.
To answer your question about women. I was stationed at Mather AFB, CA; Castle AFB, CA, Grand Forks AFB, ND; Little Rock AFB, AR; Yokota AB, Japan, and Dyess AFB,TX. Some of these were real shit holes but guess what? I got more pussy than a tampon at each place. Not only the locations but the places I was sent on TDY (Temporary Duty) for anywhere from 3 day to 4 months provided that much more action. Yes, some women will stay away from you because you are military and there are women who are military groupies. And let's not forget the women who are in the military themselves, some of the biggest freaks and ho's I've ever met.
Getting a piece of ass as a military member will be the least of your worries.

RE: Thinking of joining the military...
I feel you Mixx.
At 10 years old I was presented my first rifle. Dad taught me weapon discipline, and took me hunting that season. The next season I was allowed to go out on my own. Can you imagine now how many overprotective parents would even allow a gun in the house?
At 13 I was operating a morter mixer.
The only paper we had in the house was encyclopedia's and National Geographic magazines. For fun me and my bro used to split firewood. Parent's now wouldn't even let kids touch a go-devil. We had dirt bikes with the only rule was to wear a helmet. And to be back before dark. That let them know we were alright. After dark would have meant a search party.
Now and again I overstepped my bounds. Like the time mom found a molotov cocktail under my bed. I got beat for having something that could have burnt the house down and for using her lamp oil to make it. LOL. It was worse when they figured out what the salt peter and pharmaceutical grade sulfer was for.
I wouldn't trade my upbringing or military service for anything. It made me the man I am today. God. Corps. Family. Country.
