Do you think that women have the same opprotunities as men in the Japanese jietai?

[Harvey]

Nope. I don't think women in the American military 'really' have the same opportunities as men. I'm sure they are the same on paper, but, you know how things really work.

Sorry to get all stereotypical, but I wouldn't be surprised if the lady in the image you posted isn't actually in the jietai at all, and is just a model they picked up for the shot... Maybe. I dunno, call me a skeptic, but she's just too cute!

Spent time in the US Military and spent a lot of time with the Self Defense Forces.
Women are relegated to jobs like telephone operators, medica, and secretarial positions. Not much different then the Japanese corporate world...

I've known a few Jietai girls back in the day when the Jietai HQ was in Roppongi. For them the Jietai was just an OL job, abet a shitty one with low pay but easy access to unmarried guys. The girls were party-animals-- "bubu" animals.

The wild thing about the Japanese attitude towards persons in the Jietai: they are considered the "lowest of low", "the dregs of the sewer". ?!?!

I was a bit shocked when I first heard this Japanese attitude, being that the military is an honorable profession to an American---no different than a cop or teacher.

A Japanese personal director at NEC once explained this attitude to me as ...
During the 1950s Japanese hated anything to do with the Jietai who were shamefull losers. In the 60s, 70s, and 80s all Japanese could fog a mirror could get higher paying, "real" job in Japan Inc (Japan's true military).

I have seen some SERIOUS hotties.

There was this one chick, she had a better body than Halle Berry. Fuller hips, larger chest....unaugmented.

This chick was hotter than lava man.

But she dressed like a tomboy. She was trying to play DOWN her looks. She got a tan and tried to dress hip hop style which only made her hotter.

Saw her in the club one night and she was top dog in the club bar none.
