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.

I think it's going to be our generation's version of that famous kiss (between a sailor and a nurse, I wanna say?) photo from the end of WWII.

There is a big difference though...



This was consensual. :P

IIRC, the WWII picture was of a sailor and a random nurse he grabbed and kissed out of sheer joy. This picture is even cooler because it's a kiss of joy between partners. SO. AWESOME.

Well this one's already a million times better because it's consensual lol
