Another issue then was experiencing the contempt that the general public seemed to have for military “short hairs”.  Our country’s involvement in Vietnam being the principal reason.

Yeah.  I was drafted in '70.  I was not a fan of the war, but I was willing to do my duty as a citizen.  It still pisses me off about how the guys coming home were treated.

Hi Jandi,

While I enlisted of my free will, w/o consideration of where I would end up in the lottery, my number was 30.   Would have been going anyway 😂.

TY. 'Chelle, actually, I did get out of 'Nam in one piece. I did die in VietNam from Agent Orange ... I'm just TOO -rockin-' ORNERY to FALL DOWN!!! hehehe  😉 Got the Diabetes T2 from it, but God Was GOOD to me that's ALL I got! I've heard of many guy Riddled w/ cancers and other -crap- ... and it's also transgenerational, so kids get the -crap- FX as well   😞

Got scrambled egg for brains, but I'm working thru it and I'm now SOLIDly out in Kj and I'm going for my Orchi in this Friday.  "HopeEverythingComesOUTOK!!!!? hehehe  😉 With This cut it means I am TOTALLY committed and ready for a GO! Really looking forward to it. For the longest time my biggest fear was breaking out in Social transition. I Broke that on New Years Day (plus one ... I slept all NYD {First res: "NO Parades and NO Football!}) 2nd. Res: Push up throttles on Social Transition.   WHICH I DID! IN SPADES!)

Once I get that, it's Turn on to the runway, cleared for immediate departure and full throttle for take-off! at THAT point I will have passed the PNR! (Point Of No Return.)

 

StaySweet and Do-o-o-on'LetDaBUGZGITCHA!!!

 

So, Now, TY for the response and ... "With a puff of smoke, a clod of dust and the roar of TEN THOUSAND _THUNDERING HOOVES_, We're OFF like a HERD of Turtles, TEEEeeeaaarring Ass at a SNAIL'S pace!!!   221KiloMike Out!

Hey Kjersten, I feel ya. My service was after yours, and I spent most of it in such "garden spots" as Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and so on. reaching back to 1980. (Courtesy of Uncle Sugar, I speak Arabic, Farsi, Dari and Hebrew. Or did--now I barely get by in English._ So, while I didn't get the Agent Orange treatment, but between sand fleas, malaria and the experimental anthrax vaccine, I understand your set of lumps. God Bless you, girl, and thank you for all your sacrifices. What you went through means the world to all of us who followed after. 

 

Also, transitioning can be hard, and being totally committed is an act of courage. Good wishes on your Orchi, And on coming out socially. You've faced harder stuff, so I know you're gonna be fabulous when you complete your journey. 

 

I appreciate the reference to Heinlein, BTW. Back atcha.

Hi everyone! I was enlisted in the Navy from 2005 to 2009. I was stationed on board the USS Underwood out of Jacksonville. I went on three deployments and got to see a heck of a lot of places. It’s awesome to see so many fellow Veterans out there. This seems like an awesome community. I look forward to reading everyone’s posts.

Wow. Small world. For 20 of my 24 years in the Army, I was an interrogator/case officer and married to a counterintelligence agent. There aren't that many of us out there. Welcome, Colleen.

Thanks, Marcie. 

 

I was at Fort Holabird in Baltimore for counterintelligence training followed by several months of immersion in a Berlitz language course. Then I served as liaison with local police counterintelligence in Taegu, ROK. Fun times.

      I wanted to create a thread about this   Eurodance act from sweden. very good. love his stuff   worth a listen if you never have

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
