Ok cursory research tells me that “it” (the thing a lot of us love to talk about and partake it” is even more taboo for discussion than in America or Europe. And while my intent if going up to Montreal is to try to find the next Lanny Barbie (one day, first things first ofc) and have a good time, yeah I’m not lying anymore about what I do need.
If it wasn’t this it would be Ukraine, ngl. So figuring out how to broach the issue tactfully, with absolute discretion ensured for all concerned, and absolutely no drama.
Like I’ll be blunt, I’d take a nice lady out to dinner, go to the theatre, and pay separately just for the answer alone. That way no one can say they didn’t benefit (except my wallet) and she’d have been compensated for her time and then son. If she said yes to anything of the sort, no one here or anywhere else is gonna hear about it.
There are three people, on this entire forum, I’d give the “corpsman nod” to. Let me explain what this means.
It is common knowledge in the military that “Doc” (the medic) is a great friend to have. Doc can hook you up if you’re good to Doc. Get you a “SIQ chit” so you can get off work for a few days and play the new call of duty that just dropped. Doc will save your life in the sandbox and that’s why an entire Marine squad at the nightclub will jump up in front of Doc if someone so much as gets mad with him for a stray look or a spilled drink. They’d beat the shit out of a tough guy before Doc even realized what was happening.
And doc will give you “the nod” if that cute girl from…idk let’s say the supply department or admin office is someone you should see. And he’ll shake his head if you shouldn’t.
Doc is bound by HIPAA; doc can’t break HIPAA. But docs have been known to give the nod to their friends. I had it done for me; saw this cute Navy MP (MA) and then someone who had a bit of rank on me was like “nah Solitaire. Don’t.”
All he does is go into the medical system (AHLTA in 2010-2011), pulls up her chart, shows me what she was being seen for that day and why she was at my window getting her medical record for PCC (primary care clinic). Neither of us said a word about it again. But that’s how it happened for me and that’s how I know it happens elsewhere. That shits as much of an institution as the E4 Mafia or the Lance Corporal underground.
When I tell a lady in this line of work I don’t do reviews, I mean it. Unless she’s bad news, I’m not going to talk about it. And it has to be really bad; like scamming or worse. I’m not gonna freak out if I see her smoke something a bit more than Maryjane or rail a line in front of me. Or any of that shit. Clear and present danger shit only.
But I also haven’t forgotten information is currency in places like this.
So if I ever give you more than the CIA press conference statement (I can neither confirm nor deny any of that, nor that I’m even a real person nor the rumor that I’m actually a gorilla in a zoo having my posts transcribed by a scientist here, etc etc), and I say you won’t regret it; it’s because I know you won’t.
But as I said, only three people to date have earned my respect for me to even consider the nod. And even then, I’m not sure.
If you can’t keep a secret, what’s your word worth really? Consider yourself incredibly lucky if I value your friendship enough to risk so much as acknowledging I have even had coffee with someone in this business. Not if it’s anything that isn’t ancient history anyway (2015-2021 aka the days I did review).
