I distinctly remember going *thud* when I saw my ridiculously attractive (female) counselor appeared in full Army ROTC service dress... while riding bareback on a white gelding. With firelight backlighting her.

During a journey home from a school trip to Devon, my classmates (twelve other girls) and I learned that we were travelling near an army base. As we pulled into a petrol station, we noticed an army truck next to us... And four incredibly gorgeous, tall, well-defined officers. Needless to say this left us all speechless.

I am a US Naval Sea Cadet. My MAA in boot camp told me about how girls literally swarmed them and the numbers I got during a beach clean up, several Sea Bees telling them of how they scored dates in foreign countries, countless random Marines and Navy and Army. Of course, I spoil the moment and ask if they've been attacked by rabid hippies. So far, one has been.

I have a friend who was a Royal Canadian Air Cadet. I found myself generally worrying for his safety whenever his drill team was called to perform in public - a young man who looked like your average civilian geek out of uniform magically transformed into a {{Squee}}-inducing stud in his [=FSgt's=] dress blues.

I was at Fort Benning, generally a No (Wo)man's Land (they train infantry down the street from where I was). However, this didn't apply to the battalion office, to which I was on temporary assignment. More than a few Good Looking ''Sergeants'' in there. Of course, being two grades lower than the second-most-junior person in there, professionalism was the rule.

I knew a girl in college who was pretty cute on her own. Then she enlisted in the Air Force, I saw a picture of her in her Class-A dress uniform. I really should've gotten her number BEFORE she became the hot airman.

As a military brat, I've been party to this more than a few times. Needless to say, now that I'm in high school, I have started enjoying it quite a lot.

I have always been somewhat jealous of the good looks that one of my sets of cousins all seem to have, also each of them is a BadassIsraeli and all serve (or will in the near future) in the armed forces (one is a jet pilot) and could all quite easily kick my ass.... even the girl who is two years my junior.

My hometown holds a big WorldWarII re-enactment weekend every fall. This inevitably results in plenty of good-looking guys in vintage (and modern) uniform...including (disturbingly) my own brother.

At the Larp I go to on the mainland during the summers there's the brotherhood of Fenris, a group of highly militaristic Norse warriors and likely the best shieldwall in the system. Why? Becaus the majority of them are in the actual army, thus why they go on drills/manouvers, are rediculously well organised, use actual strategy, are all in peak condition and top it off with a uniform of black plated leather with matching shields. They are also the reason why the young women of the wolves faction gravitate irrevocably toward the Fenris boys' campfire when they're not busy being the majority of our high command and the entire command structure of the church of Tyr.

My boyfriend is a few years older than me, and ended up graduating and joining the army while I'm still in high school. He was cute enough before, but in fatigues or dress uniform, he's gone from a 7 to a 10. I've got a picture of him inside my locker, and one of my TEACHERS even told me he was hot.

My grandfathers WERE this trope. One of them is now six feet under, and the other got promoted to a Warrant Officer in the RAF, which is the best a non-commissioned officer can GET, and is now (I think) the head of the Royal Air Force Association in this particular region of England.
