Just walk in to the office wearing a dress, and ask if your overdue pay is being witheld due to your lifestyle - they'll probably cut a check on the spot.

Does not have to be in pink..... A few of us have thought about it but no one can figure out how to wear our guns....
You are right they would do a backflip if I was one of those protected minorities.

I think Thunderwear has you covered.

I'm curious about the demographic breakdown of the sexual assault numbers recently released. More specifically, what percentage was same sex harassment/assault, and have those percentages increased in the last year?

Not sure, but you would think so based on the amount of SHARP propaganda everywhere.........

I shudder at the prospect of cases the SANE/SAMFE (sexual assaut medical forensic examiner) has to work with in the next few years
I used to have a SOF-career-at-any-cost-or-bust drive, breaking hearts, abandoning relationships, and dissappointing parents/friends along the way.....but now I think I'm going to take my chances with alphabet soup organizations
This fighting force that had adopted me and I have come to love and treasure is turning into an appaling, stomach-turning, circus
5 more months....

It seems to me that, with all of the alphabet soup sexual identity labels, some very confused individual could end up back where they started.

AFN commercials........
So it begins.......
Over the past few days, I have seen a very disturbing amount of commercials and releases from our "leaders" in regards to the DADT and DOMA appeals, however today I saw the first commercial of a uniformed Soldier being interviewed in front of a gay pride flag talking about the sacrifices that LGBT Soldiers have made.......additionally, showing the pictures and images of the protests and "happy LGBT couples" within our society.
Once again, special people wanting special treatment. Personally, I don't give a fuck either way. Just stop shoving it in my face all of the time am calling me the bigot for not supporting their struggle.
How is it that our leaders (aka: politicians) allow this to happen? We are all Soldiers, we all make sacrifices, some of us much more than others without seeking recognition, yet we still insist on taking small groups of so called "special people" and putting them on pedestals over everyone else. We can't make generalities anymore in regards to the sacrifices that we have made, we have to single everyone out time and time again.
I just don't get it.

I'm going to start a support group for the army cooks. They are so misunderstood and under appreciated. Oh the sacrifices they have made.
Honestly they put in some LONG hours though and I'm sure glad we had/have them. Yea we all rag on some of the (what we consider) easier MOSs but life would SUCK without them and we cannot deny that and many of them gave us GREAT support. It takes all MOSs to make it work and they all make sacrifices in one way or another. GIVE ME A BREAK!
