Ok, maybe I'm cynical or just naturally suspicious, but if a guy tells me to dress up in a Superman suit after we just did a little verbal-superman-sex-torture-role-play where my part was to moan, ummm...I'm gonna have to pass on that.
OH! Wait! he's my D.I.!! I'm in the ARMY. That changes everything.
Where do the find these guys?
"Others described being ordered to 'dress up and pose in spandex and then told not to mention it to anyone.'"
"then told not to tell anyone" indicates to me that they DID dress up in spandex.
Are we really fielding an army made of guys so stupid that they think dressing up in spandex is part of basic training for the military?

The impression I got from the article was that they were so terrified of the DI saying something to negatively impact their chances for promotion or otherwise impacting their military careers that they went along with it.
Which is exactly the reason why even the most mutually respectful relationships with subordinates are generally considered unethical in any business place...
... but I'm still with you in being staggered that this kind of ridiculous demands didn't cause any of the victims to grow a spine.
Good ole Ft. Useless, what would we do without thee?
I think the army keeps it there just because they'd feel left out if they didn't have a presence in Hampton Roads since the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and even the Coast Guard all have an extremely large presence there.
Ft. Eustis earned it's colloquial. The only there of even remote interest is the army transportation museum.

I also have to say that raping Superman, could I bring myself to do so, would probably have me feeling pretty chipper.
