Shoot I can teach this class. It is the same for enlisted.
Step One: Become stripper.
Step Two: Have coitus with soldier.
Step Three: Tell said soldier you are pregnant.
Step Four: Get married before he realizes you are not pregnant.
Step Five: Tell solder you have had a miscarriage.

Five easy steps.

I also can teach, "How to wreck a soldiers career before you divorce him and leave him with nothing...In 5 easy steps."

Just let me know.

I think it is a a neat scam. I am sure the guy or girl that set it up think they figured it out. I really hope they aren't married to an officer. But I think the ones that fall for something are the about as sharp as Jello. As an officer I really doubt this would work. We aren't the type to go about and marry quickly like a young 18 or 19 year old soldier.

CPT Private RallyPoint Member, Its funny that you bring this up because when I left the Army in 2004 (came back in 2007) I was trying to find a cute female officer to marry. I found a few but it didn't work out.

Duffleblog like material and while it could be reality, it is a far stretch. Surely it has to be gender neutral as we have as many single female as make officers. I needed the smile this morning after PT. Thanks.

As a retired enlisted man, and if I were single, would it be okay for me to marry an Officer or would that still be fraternization? :)

They need to start giving the Soldiers a "How to spot a potential Dependapotamous" class in basic. Yes, it will be geared for both males and females.

Beyond hilarious. Just carry cheap beer, ugly sandals, and a TapOut T-shirt in the trunk of your car and young Army Lts will flock to you, no doubt.

I hope that they have a block of instruction on what to do with the officers laundry after 6 weeks in the field and the use of tongs and sticks to fish it out of the laundry bag.

I'd volunteer my wife as a guest speaker on the joys of being an officer's wife .... Wait, that might not be such a good idea.

This really bothers me, it makes me want to apologize for my gender that there are women who lack substance and are so shallow as to stoop to these levels. It is an awful reflection on our gender and society in general.

Well it's about damn time! All of the myriad offers of marriage I've received in my time in service here at tropical, high-plains paradise Fort Riley have been clumsy and ill-informed. I personally am glad that some enterprising (and more importantly generous) soul has taken it upon herself to get the eligible women (or men, if you prefer) up to speed on the latest TTPs for tying the knot with us eligible officer-types.

I didn't know this was a stand up comic site. Thinking this is like the old sleazy magazines had ads on how to come to America by marrying a GI; for $9.99 we'll send you the info.. You would think that officers would have more intelligence to see people that are just in it for the prestige of being married to a military officer, but at the end of the day, they are just people with hormones with some book learning but reality lacking. Spent enough years babysitting junior officers, and some a little higher. The movie An officer and a Gentleman comes to mind.
