Desert Queens

So it’s well known in the military that females get “prettier” during deployments… mainly for the fact that there are less of us to go around than in the States.  The term given to the females who go up a few notches while deployed is “desert queen”.  They get a lot more guys ogling and asking them out than they would while at home.

I like to think I don’t fall into that category… first of all, I like to think that I’m fairly attractive in the real world.  Second, I actually have gotten asked out less here.  It seems only married guys feel the need to approach me, which is a whole other story!  Not totally true, but the majority feel the need to tell me that the divorce papers are in their CHU, they’ll show me!  LOL!

Anyway, my point, I guess, is that it’s funny how females act here.  They finally have the upper hand when it comes to the dating pool.  And guys willingly give it to them.  I just wonder how they will react when they get off the plane back home…
