how do you get rid of them? I have an interview with my first sergeant this thursday, and having them is regarded as destruction of government property.

any suggestions?

Only way I know of is with coverup. Better get a girl to apply it, because it's a lot more likely she'll know what she's doing.

I've never had to cover them myself, mind you, but having a girlfriend in ROTC led to situations--well, I CAUSED situations--where she had to hide marks from her squad leader and whatnot.

In my experience, the best way is to avoid them in the first place. Try and hide the thing with whatever you can, and pray.

A...no. Everyone likes to tell you that it's the "destruction of government property" but you aren't and won't be the government's property, although it comes pretty close and will definately feel like it. Now if they want to I'm sure they could ream you for your military bearing (professional appearance counts), dereliction of duty, the generic catch-all, and some others if they really wanted to.

By the way, the same thing applies for sunburns or other injuries that could have been reasonablly prevented that occur while you are off duty.
any suggestions?
Don't do it again. :)

A few other suggestions. Read the UCMJ, not to be a "Sea Lawyer" but to know what to do and not to do. Be wary of "Sea Lawyers" especially those that always have unsolicited "legal advice" for you.

I don't know, maybe he touched himself at night? :P

But really, I don't know how to get rid of them other than using some kind of makeup.

when that person is a member of the United States Military.

You could always cut it or something, then you have a legitimate use for a bandage. thats what I do on occaision with bug bites, just cut them off. burning yourself might be an option but if its where I think it is them you won't want to do that.

Its still summer, though, a tan and/or sunburn may provide ample cover.

If all else fails scour the internet for treatments/remedies on google. Im sure you could find a folk remedy there. If THAT doesn't work. Claim its a birthmark, and keep repeating the hickey every week.

Another thing to do that helps but doesn't immediately get rid of it is to take a lipstick cap, press on it, and turn.

You need to make sure you get the right kind. An oil-free base and a bit of powder on top should do it.

Back in the '80's, when Big Hair was in and every girl had a curling iron... you'd not *believe* how many girls had 'burnt their necks with their irons' Monday morning.. :twisted:

I have a hickie on my chest that has been there 17 years. You can still make out teeth marks, if you know what you're looking at....

Wierd thing is, it wasn't especially painful on getting it, it was just a hickie.
:shock:
That left a permanent record of my god-like sexual prowess! Like I need any reminders. :lol:

You could try make-up.... but the manly thing to do is to cut or bruise yourself badly in that area and say you were wrestling crocodiles or bitten by a rattle snake .... or just tell the seargent that you "Sir, Unlike you, I got some last night, Drill Seargent Sir!"
