A Navy tradition caught up with the repeal of the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" rule on Wednesday when two women sailors became the first to share the coveted "first kiss" on the pier after one of them returned from 80 days at sea.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta of Placerville, Calif., descended from the USS Oak Hill amphibious landing ship and shared a quick kiss in the rain with her partner, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell of Los Angeles. Gaeta, 23, wore her Navy dress uniform while Snell, 22, wore a black leather jacket, scarf and blue jeans. The crowd screamed and waved flags around them.

There's a video interview thing that a local paper (I'm guessing) did about it too.

That video just adds on to the cuteness. They look so happy to be back together. :D

You beat me to posting the video, but still adorable to share. <3

A shame that they had to disable comments on the youtube... but I'd bet a that they ran at least 10:1 negative... I would've loved to try to skew the balance to the positive side!
