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

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

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
