Date: May 2006
How we met: I currently work for a defense contractor, spending much of my time in meetings at a military base. I had gotten locked out of a building without the proper credentials, so had to wait until some of my coworkers were out of that meeting to let me back in.
Previous flirtations: NavyMan had gotten upset with me a few weeks earlier, as I had gotten (ironically) stuck at work too late to come see him when he was in his whites. By the time I got back into town, he had changed.
What we did:
NavyMan was on base for an eye exam. I called and told him that I had a half hour to spare before my next meeting, so I wandered over to where the eye doctor was. He walked out of the building, dressed in his khakis.

Cute little hat…nice, fitted pants…excellent top. I never thought I was a sucker for a man in uniform but hooooo-leeeee crap. I just about melted.

He had several errands to do on base, so I walked him to his car. All of a sudden, some other guy in uniform saluted him, and NavyMan saluted him back. Dudes…despite the fact I am around this stuff a lot, it is so different when you see your boyfriend (there, I wrote it again!) do it. Especially when it just so happens to be that everybody you run into is of a lower rank than him–not because he is an admiral or anything, but because a run of good luck for him permitted him to look like one for ten or so minutes. (Lower rank salutes first)

We then parted ways, but agreed to meet up for lunch. He picked me up in his car outside of the building where my meetings had been. In the front seat was a bouquet of tulips. Sigh… We went to Papa Gino’s, a chain pizza place out of Boston. He took off his little hat to eat, but man, he still looked good.

FDS: 10 out of 10
How long it lasted: I think I finally get to see him in his whites this weekend (whites are the fancy ones)
