How did your military time affect your nudist tendancies?

While serving in the Armed Forces ... how did it affect your participation in nudism? Did it hinder your nude time? Did you find time and places to go? Did your military buddies know of your nudist tendancies?

I had to be quiet about it, but it worked out OK. I couldn't get away with sleeping bare in basic, or AIT, but once I was permanent party at my first duty station, I managed to get a two-man room to myself, so I spent some naked time there. When I was stationed in Turkey, I could find some out of the way beaches to get naked, but I had to do that either early in the morning, or late at night. Turkish beaches are beautiful! When I returned to the States, I would occasionally have to share my barracks room with someone else, so that limited my time. Plus, my room was right across the hall from the orderly room, so I had to keep things really low key.

I had been a closet nudist until I joined the army and was lucky. My first assignment was sharing a barracks room with a guy who had just returned from Korea and preferred nudity. Then I went to Germany and was introduced to my first public social nudity. Wow!! And my barracks roomy again, was someone that enjoyed in-room nudity. By the time I left Europe I was an active member of FKK and would never look back. Ever since I have endeavored to live in safe places far away from my work so that I could enjoy nudity without worry.

I spent my enlisted time in post-Vietnam Germany, and a few of us in the barracks slept naked and would sometimes dare to walk from the sleeping area to the shower naked -- though it was a co-ed barracks, and co-ed nakedness was not encouraged (wonder why ... ).

I came back to Germany a couple of years later, and worked at an Army hospital. One of the chaplains kept daring me to go with him for his usual Wednesday night at an FKK spa. I was working most Wednesday nights, so couldn't, but I continued to assure him that I was ready whenever I had the night free ... and when the Wednesday night gig ended, I was so ready for the FKK experience, I was drooling. I asked him what I needed to bring: he said, "A towel ... to hang around your neck." So, that was the first time, naked, in mixed company. But not the last ... and not the last time I was at the spa in the company of a chaplain, either.

I have never ceased to be thankful for the ministry of those men -- who, by the way, are not the last clergy-persons I've encountered at a naked venue.

I was similiar to you in finding opportunities when I could. I would sleep nude under my covers in the bays and pull on shorts before standing out of bed. When training overseas I would find opportunities with the local countries for bath houses, bars, beaches to enjoy my nudism. On bases while deployed one year had a private office with lovable door in the hangar so easy to get in and out of flight suit for mental relaxation time.
