You say you're looking for an intimate encounter, which indicates **** buddy or one night stand. Being in Killeen, or any other military town, especially if you're going to post a photo in uniform (I recommend against that for reasons I'll elaborate on in a moment) you are more likely to find a woman who knows more about your military benefits than you do, and who will feign interest to get at those benefits, so I don't blame you for not wanting more.

I recommend changing your profile photo for a couple reasons. First, many valor thieves post photos of themselves (or someone) in a military uniform knowing how shallow some women are, and how willing they are to give it up to a guy in uniform. If you really are in the Army, you already have an advantage. If you're not (and I'm not accusing because I don't know you), then you are a valor thief and the women looking for a military man can spot a fake. They know that photo proves nothing. Look up Sergeant Major Davis. You'll see what I mean. Another reason you should change your photo is for security reasons. There are people in this country who want to do harm to military personnel. Because of your age, you wouldn't have been at Fort Hood when Nadal Hassan shot the place up, but he held the rank of Major. Security, brother. You're setting yourself up. Just being in Killeen, it's pretty much understood that you are either in the Army or somehow connected to the military, so put on some civilian clothes and try again.

All the best to you, and assuming you're real, thank you for continuing to do what I'm no longer able to do.

When I see a profile like this the first thing that comes to mind is
"none of your business".
Picture that you can't tell what you look like
Tell you later like the scammers remark
No info other than you want the obvious.
Uniform and the demeanor pictured is contradictory.
Best wishes.

if he was in the military he would have answered the question of what his MOS is.

Unless he just posted this and hasn't checked the response. Such a simple question, however, is brilliant. Civilians, always ask someone who claims to be military that, or what battalion they are with.

Asking for MOS doesn't deter the scammers. I had a hot military man contact me and I grilled him like a sergeant, asking all sorts of questions about his rank, where deployed, etc. He still had all the answers. I didn't believe him because something was off about his grammar, the dead giveaway. After I stopped writing to him, he didn't pursue me. He obviously moved on to the next victim.

He was the typical military "widower". I even grilled him about how his wife supposedly died. He wrote back "lungs cancer" instead of lung cancer. That was the first tip off he was a foreign scammer. Nice try, but no cigar.

I shot a fat farmer in the arse with a Webley Tempest .22 pistol, when I was 13, cos he chased my brother and his mates with a pitchfork, for stealing apples and plums from his wee orchard! Ha ha

Nothing always works, but knowing a few of these basic questions will help. Know where the military is deployed. Be familiar enough with current events to name some countries in the news. There are certain places a real military man will not tell you he is. His family is taken care of or he won't deploy. Most military are educated. "Lungs cancer" may have been a typo by itself. If it's a pattern, he's not military. If he tells you he has some really cool sounding title, beware. I won't go more into detail here, but I will help you know what to look for if you want to know.

your right, some of them I guess can do their homework before hand and if that is their main scam have most of the answers.. Us guys get the military scam much less then the women do.

In my experience, military people NEVER ask for money.. never. Because ( I don't know how it is in other branches) but in the Marine Corp, if your Sargent catches wind of you scamming people.. you will be spending time in the brig., busted down in rank and basically and labeled a outcast.. your fellow Marines do not even want to know you...won't work with you.. your done. Even if you broke no "civilian" law.
If nothing else you have disrespected the Marine Corp. that in itself gets you a cot in the big house.

99.999% of real service people would not take that chance.

As of 3 years ago when I got out, this was true of the Army also. That's why no REAL military man will do this.
