Get involved with groups doing what you enjoy and you'll find someone that you mesh well with. She won't care if you're in the navy and you won't have to worry about what to say to her because you'll already have a common ground to talk about.
If all you're trying to do is go and lay some pipe then ignore everything above and do the exact opposite of what I suggested.

But where am I going to find a girl that is into 4runners and playing guitar....if she was really awesome she would be on this forum and her name would be Dirtytoes.

Get out more and enjoy life (if you're not already). You'll find someone; just don't rush it or you'll push yourself into something that you'll regret.

OK this should be obvious but they won't be looking for a dude who has a 4runner and a guitar.
They will be interested in a guy with confidence who is going somewhere in life. That is why I recommended starting college night classes. The 4runner is just a bonus.
I'm not against the whole bar/lounge thing. They can be a great way to meet all kinds of girls. Just make sure it isn't the trophy lounge and stay away from the single moms.
Also check out:
Govavi.com (co-ed sports)
Meet up.com (not a dating site, more like a meet new people site)

I see, I mean here's the thing I'm pretty confident when it comes to being in person. It's just the whole after the first contact kinda thing. Actually dating and being in a relationship.

Oh yeah that's another thing.
Do you plan to stay in or get out?
If you plan on getting out then don't get in a relationship. If you get a girl pregnant then you will stay in for sure.
Sorry to say it but it's something all Navy guys eventually know about through themselves or friends.
---> Once you have "responsibilities" you are not getting out .

My wife and I don't share the same hobbies. That's a good thing.

Sorry for bringing everyone down lol.
Just wanted to give some solid advice. If you are getting out at six then you might be able to hold out without a GF for a few years and just "date around" ... but if you are staying in for 8. Well you will probably be married by then. Statistically speaking of course.
A lot of what I said farther above is accurate for San Diego. The social scene is very college and bar oriented.

It happens, so far me and my fiance have been very careful and cautious, just in case that I do decide to get out after my 5. I work with a lot of guys though that end up getting married or getting a chick pregnant and they are automatically lifers because it's just so damn hard to get out once you have a kid.
