If a mate in uniform is who you seek, go where the sailors go....

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Visit port towns or cities with large, rotating sailor populations.

  2. Step 2

    Frequent bar and restaurant establishments in the vicinity of docking areas.

  3. Step 3

    Visit areas that hold Fleet Week celebrations or similar U.S. Navy-based military events.

  4. Step 4

    Keep apprised of current world affairs and the U.S. military's involvement in those affairs.

  5. Step 5

    Learn key sailing terms and become well-versed in navy terminology.

  6. Step 6

    Get a clerical job in the U.S. Navy so that you will have access to ship schedules and personnel records. But don't be a stalker; the Pentagon might be watching.

Tips & Warnings
  • Popular U.S. Navy port cities include San Diego; Houston; Pensacola, Florida; Jacksonville, Florida; and more.
  • The usual rules of dating apply, even when sailors are involved. Make sure you get to know your sailor before you get into any compromising situations.

on 1/4/2007 I am a female sailor, stationed on a submarine base. True, it is not difficult at all to attract a sailor, but, ladies, always represent yourself as respectable to find a respectable man. And imagine being with your man for 3 months, then having him gone for 3 months...that is how it will be. I have been w/ my submariner b/f for nearly 6 months, and I am not used to long distance relationships. We nearly fell apart when he was underway. But, I as a sailor understand the military lifestyle as opposed to a civilian lifestyle.

on 1/23/2006 We are people too. Most of us go out on ships for long periods of time, if you can't deal with that; then you should find a man elsewhere. Women overseas: If that's what you're worried about, you have trust issues. Easy women are not just in other countries, they are everywhere. If he really likes you he won't play around. Write to them. Nothing feels better than getting a letter if you're far away.
