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.
