I just read this post for the first time. I think that it includes all kinds of things in it. I never got the impression that it was about how to pick up women, though for the single guys, that's good information to know. For us married men, we want to know where we can take our wives out in our uniforms and get better service or perhaps have someone offer to pick up the tab for us. No one has been sharing any "Penthouse" stories here or anything remotely close. My wife got the same impression about the thread. It sounds like Jen may be a little insecure about what her husband does while out in uniform.
On the subject of the forum, one word: Texas. Especially if you're not someplace close to a base (i.e. Fort Worth). The people there are extremely friendly to military personnel and occasionally I have had my dinner tab picked up by either the restaurant or by other guests while in my whites. Plus, you can all but forget having to wait for a table in some places.
Another place that I've found to be really military friendly (which surprises me because usually places that have bases nearby are not) is San Diego. Granted, I haven't been here too long so I'm sure some would disagree with me, but so far, it seems to be very nice here.
