I was initially very confused by the title of this forum. I presumed that transsexual veterans would be bragging, "I had my SRS in 1943", "Well I had mine in 1936". Maybe the word "military" belongs somewhere. (I never was in the military.)

veteran: A person with long experience of a particular activity.

[pennyjane]

blonde here too, jolene. i got the part about "linguistic differences", the rest just went zip, right over this thinning blonde skull. do be kind rhonda. lotsa love and hope, pj

[Guest Kiera]

I am dark haired, so will try my hand at translation for the benefit of the rest...

Please pardon me if I translate incorrectly....

"A risky assumption, ostensibly bereft of either extant or cursory substantiation.

The title of the thread seemed evinced, unless this is a function of linguistic differences"

Your first impression regarding veterans is kind of tenuous being, apparantly, without verification either by outside knowledge, or even a quick look. The title of this thread seemed to me to be descriptive enough, though I am willing to allow that this may just be an example of linquistic differences.

Huggles and Loves,

Kiera

OK I made the forum title better reflect what this forum is about. It is for military veterans who served or are serving their countries. This group is a lot larger than you'd think. Although many assume that LGBT persons didn't serve the fact is thousands did and many are serving now under the "don't ask don't tell" military policy.

[Guest Jolene4ever]

I agree Laura. When I got drafted in '69. The physical was designed to eliminate the obvious not the emotional, the truth is I meet this 'Nam vet who would go home on weekends and party enfemm. I still wasn't at her stage, so I didn't join her. But that held her together,man. Jolene

[Guest Jenny]

I have been in the CF since '89. Too many units too list.
