Military Branches...

I want to thank ALL of my fellow Service Members for serving their country. Whether you ID as lez, femme, butch, dyke, queer or tg...

We were closeted in a dominate male environment and only we know the good w/the bad that we lived with daily.

With the media and Pentagon attention on rape in the Military and people NEVER listening to those who lived w/this issues I am proud to announce that my middle daughter who is a 3rd CPO in the CG, just informed me she is now a Sexual Assault Prevention Representative for District 5.

I could NOT be more proud that one of MY Philistines [kids] is going to be part of the SOLUTION.

SEMPER PARATUS!

Hoo Ahh........


Boy those witch hunts of old could stop your heart couldn't they? They always seemed to happen in the next company over to mine or somewhere close enough to my door step that it felt like I was next. I dunno what I was so scared of......what were they gonna do? Bend my dog tags and send me home? It felt like so much more then.

I can't even imagine what it was like for our WWII era brothers and sisters where being homosexual could earn you a vacation out in Leavenworth. Now THAT would be scary!
