strippers and the military

I have heard that Dayton, OH used to have a larger military presence and a lot of the military wives would dance. Some of the best strip clubs in Ohio were in Dayton, but now it is not so true anymore. As military presence declined, the strip club quality declined (I don't know if it is true but it is my guess).

I can't definitively say, but it seemed reasonable to me during my trip to El Paso a couple months ago that the girls who weren't Mexican were either former Army at Fort Bliss or they were (ex-)spouses of Army at Fort Bliss.

samsung1,

As one that spent a lot of time in the Dayton area and time with a lot of dancers, It was not at all uncommon to hear them say there husband/boyfriend was military.

Another spot good for that was Key West, but I would imagine that is the case near any major military base.

There is a club on I-44 near a military installation and I spent one glorious afternoon there many moons ago. I enjoyed extensive two-way contact (no extras) with four dancers. All were cute. All were from someplace other than the southern Missouri Ozarks. All were, or had been, married to military guys. All were crazy. Poor partner choices are not restricted to the girls.

Seems like the strippers that I've come in contact with go absolutely crazy over U.S. military men.

Yep, I'd say the number one poor choice strippers make is not caring enough about $$$. If a man ain't making $$$, then don't fall in love with him!

My 2 cents worth, based on Army experience:

What Shadowcat alludes to happens mainly with the lower enlisted ranks.

Army officers are one of the most uptight bunch of people you will ever meet (I used to be one). The only exception is aviators (go figure). A young, good looking, single lieutenant might get away with having a fling with a stripper, but he will never marry her (if he wants a military career) due to the social stigma.

The enlisted guys, on the other hand, pretty much come from the same socio-economic background as your typical stripper. They probably remind her of the guys she dated in high school and vice versa so they get along great.

One of my favorite waitresses spotted my retired military ID in my wallet once, and shared that she was a moonlighting soldier. She told me one of the other waitresses was in her same unit. Can’t recall any who were dancers, but I have met a lot of dancers who were Army “brats” (daughters of career military).

Steve, I agree with you. It mainly happens with young enlisted men. I have only personally known 1 officer.(a Cousin) He was a navigator on B-52's. I have known a couple of non commissioned officers that flew copters in Viet Nam. TUSCL_Brother was a non com when he retired as a special investigator for the army. None of them were stupid.

Guys that make it to the senior NCO ranks are pretty savy. When I was a brand new 2LT my first NCO taught me more in one week than I had learned in 8 weeks at the Officer basic course. The smartest, most talented guys may be the Warrants. They could be officers, but don't want the BS - just want to do their damn jobs.

My Dad's first tour, as the pilot of a Huey that got shot at every day, was done as a Warrant Officer. Then he went to OCS, as he wanted a bit more power to make decisions. Second tour flying Hueys he was a commissioned officer. He many times wished he had stayed a Warrant.

steve, I should have said that the copter pilots and TUSCL_Brother were warrants. The USAF was doing away with them back in 64-65. The remaining ones had grand father rights. I had 2 years of college at the time. The Af offered to sent me back to college, at the colleges of my choice, pay all of my tuition plus staff seagents pay while I was doing so but then I would have to commit to 6 years of service. I passed.
