How did your military time affect 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.
