We had an older thread at our predecessor site that's been archived.   As Memorial Day is fast approaching I thought we should revive this. No matter the country you live in, did you serve in the Military?  How about in government service in a "three letter" agency?   Be proud of your service.  Let us know!  

 

I served in the U.S. Navy from '75 through '79 as a tail hook sailor working on F-14 Tomcats.

I admit this was a wise decision for me,came out a better person.Hung around the wrong people that were a bad influence.Then I realized I needed to do something in my life,enlisting in the Marines was one of the greatest decisions I made.

I agree with Korey.  I was on the fast road to no where when I joined ROTC.  I am not sure I would have finished college and found a meaningful career otherwise.

I served in the army between 1992 and 2002, right before the invasion of Afghanistan. I was asked to reenlisted after I had already begun out processing but declined because I realized that for me it was something I could not do anymore after a lot of reading and introspection. Soon after I took the first steps to attempt transition but had to give up. I’m glad I didn’t go back in because I was tired of getting deployed. My job was driving mostly but I was also a heavy equipment operator. However deployment gave me a different job of machine gunner. Talk about stress. I don’t entirely regret being in because I got to see places in the world I never dreamed of before but it changed me and I realized that military might is not the best diplomacy. It formed a lot of my personal journey and philosophy since then. I’m more of a live and let live girl now.

That was a unique role TammyAnne.  Did you have experience in ministry before or afterwards? 

Thanks for serving.

I had done some peer counseling, but outside the ministry. Actually at the time I went in the Army my faith was lagging.

I found the whole experience rewarding, but challenging. I was also in the midst of a struggle to understand and find myself, sexually, emotionally and spiritually. But while serving I also had the experience of waking up believing I had physically changed - I had never heard of tucking, had no idea it could be done, but awoke one morning finding my testicles "gone" and immediately thought "I'm so glad they're not there anymore" only to roll over and discover they had retracted during my sleep. I was so disappointed when they reappeared.

That was one of several turning points for me.

      Yes, it does sound like a very good book, a very touching and timely story.  But I don't think I'll read it.  It is painful enough to live in the now, and face some of the evils that this administration has wrought.  I'm not much interested in reading about the same sort of thing happening to imaginary characters living in the 1940's.   Carolyn Marie

      The treatment of Trans people who very much existed in the pre - WWII years did not really improve with the end of the war.  I have not read this book, but have read and studied others about the people involved.  The story is sobering and even saddening, but one that needs to be told.  Our fears are historic, but so is our dream to simply be people among people doing people things in life including love.

      Yes, my first thought was, "That means that..."  But like you, I'll try to concentrate on the positive.

      Good morning    It is our 53rd anniversary today.  There have been good times and bad, love and hate but we worked things out and here we are 53 years later and still together.  There have been a few times I thought we were done.  Once I was ready to call it, once she was and one time I was even making contingency plains certain it was on the horizon but all that is in the past now.   We are even going shopping today to see if we can find nice outfits to celebrate our anniversary.  Ok it’s a far cry from going on a cruise or a trip somewhere but I don’t think she could handle that even if we could afford it.  She has really aged in the past year.  And honestly, so have I. In her case it is physically with some short term memory loss.  In my case it is strictly memory loss.  Sometimes I really have to think about things that just came snap snap snap to me before.  I do things to exercise my mind but they aren’t always helping.  I know it does no good to say “I told you… “ to my wife.  If she doesn’t remember right then and there it never happened.     So to all you younger coffee drinkers, stay healthy, stay happy and stay active as long as you can.  Couch potatoing is bad.  TV is ok in limitation but nothing beats going for a bicycle ride or walking, jogging or running if you can.  I am not and never was an athlete.  In fact a medical DNA test showed that I was in the lower 25% on that, som-armed to other men and boys.  Yet another confirming thing that points to my being transgender.  I used my brain instead.   but this is getting long and becoming dribble so I’ll stop.  Just stay active mentally and physically.

      I'll try to see that as positive rather than concentrating on the inverse of that 49%.   Hugs,   Charlize

      A good thought for finding peace of mind today is: "Focus on what you can control and let go of what you cannot." This encourages you to prioritize your actions and thoughts within your sphere of influence, while releasing the need for control over external factors. This approach can lead to a more calm and less stressful day.
