Thank the good lord for choppers . Air support WAS and IS so very important. I loved the time I served at Hood , but would have preferred Nam. I requested Nam as 1st choice when I went in , the induction center personell said I was crazy with my choices . Anyway , glad to see another 1st Cav member. Live Long And Prosper

Hi All ! USMC 1966 until forever. 3rd Force Recon Co and Sog RVN 1967 thru 1970 then so many different postings for the next century or three that I don't think about or have at least tried to forget. Oh well I was blonde but now I'm gray but at least I have hair. Love and Peace Kate

Wether it is peacetime or during war. The fact remains that you served your country. Be proud of that fact. Being a Veteran does not say that you have to have had to be in battle, it means that you joined and served. Live Long And Prosper, SharleahLynn

Although I had to hide my real and true self, I was proud to serve in our Armed Forces as from what I have read thus far, each one of ya'll were/is. There is no greater honor than to defend your home soil , wether you survive or not. The reason I say survive or not is because of the men and women that paid the ultimate price. They paid with their lives. Who can pay a higher price? I'll tell you who.................NOBODY ! I apologise for going on and on, but when I think of the sacrifices made by all Veterans, I tend to get both Emotional , and Mad at the same time.

There are many Veterans who do not know about this thread, or are afraid to come post here for fear of being ridiculed or made fun of. Not anyone will do none of those things here, for all who post in here know what it is like and have the honor to stand up for that they did for this country, or the country where they served. All Veterans around the world , I salute you one and all

US ARMY 1972 ASA [ Lightening Fast Chicken Truckers] spies,chasing spies all over Boston :lol: and into every gay bar we would all fly. Drinking and partying away the weekend whilst our assigned spies waited outside the door. Oho what a time it was, life meant little-booze everything. Party today because there may not be a tommorow. [ this meant that majority of all graduates shipped out to Nam,some to Japan].

We had Green Berat A & B teams, Rangers all of the elite military folks there. Even NSA. Brother, there were more super spies in that little town than regular citizens. :rolleyes:

Oops, I forgot to intro myself. I'm Bulldog 1948, a Ohio State Buckeye man.

71-73 ..... 7/17th 1st Cav. Div. Attack Helicopter Squadron. ...... Spent my tour stateside at Ft. Hood , Texas. Dang Army would not give me my Primary duty station choice. Ask for Nam, they said I was crazy for wanting to go there . 2 years later they gave me a section 4 discharge , I reckon they was trying to say I was only half crazy :lol: Sorry, could not resist the humorous remark . No, but really, I enjoyed the time I was in , even though I had to hide me. But at any rate, Glad to have you with us , come see us in the chatroom some as well. SharleahLynn

My remark of "Grease Monkey" was part of a daily banter between my room mate and I. It was not aimed at injuring anyones feelings. If I have done so , I apologise. SharleahLynn

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.
    • KathyLauren
      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      I enjoyed my Saturday moka-pot coffee this morning while doing something I love: processing astronomy images.  I didn't stay up late to watch last night's spectacular aurora, but my all-sky camera did, taking pictures every minute.
