It blows the legs off the poor bastard who steps on one. Hence, at Bethesda, we had quite a number of Marines with no legs, and often their arms were also missing.

One poor guy was threatened with being court marshaled if he was caught masturbating again.

Another fellow (age 17) was trying to contort his body so he could give himself a head job. He was having a bitch of a time. He had no arms or legs below the knees!

A nurse (a Lt. jg [junior grade = second Lt. in the army]) got caught giving a guy a head job. The military did a job on her career, her personal life, and her academic status, such that she would have been lucky to get a job of switching bed pans in a west Texas (Bush country) first aide station during the grave-yard shift. I knew the lady personally! She was the cousin of the lady I was engaged to marry. I knew she had intended to make the military her career. Instead, she became a "school nurse" in a West Va. mining town of approximately 1,300 population.

What she got so severely busted on was "fratenizing with an enlisted man". She was an officer, and the poor bastard with no legs and no arms was merely a lance corporal in the USMC.

For these guys, many of whom had been there for months/years, masturbation was no "minor entertainment or hobby", it had reached a point of being one of the few ways they could identify/reveal who they were as males, youthful, and with something they thought was worthwhile to contribute.

Whoa! Sad, yes, but thank you for sharing. I had never considered what the loss of that simple freedom could be like, what an affront to one's personhood it could be.
