These are the ramblings, memories & observations from my Military and civilian life experiences. Complete (and incomplete) with good times, funny incidents, miscarriages of justice,fair & unfair policies & practices,straight up bullshit,hardships,controversy, shady characters,lousy leadership,and the triumph and failures of ordinary people over it all.

The new Corporal Klinger Army
Remember the days (good old days) when a soldier wanted to get kicked out of the service, he could always dress up as a women, and admit to being a homosexual? That used to be a sure fire way to get kicked out! Well those days are over. There is a new sherriff in town.( and he may be a cross dresser). I find this change in policy distrubing . What will a Heterosexual male who wishes to dodge military service do now to get himself rejected or kicked out of the Army? Heck by all the new standards "nothing". If he does dress up, he may end up getting a compliment or even asked where he "bought those nice shoes" by his 1SG or Company Commander. He may even receive a recommendation to attend a local Gay Bar (NCO Club) "Drag Queen review" and encouraged to participate as well as lip sync to a few Areatha Franklin tunes. And if he wins the lip sync contest, donate the proceeds to the company MWR fund. Or he may save the money up for his battle buddy's sex change operation. ("Sorry...my bad". The sex change will undoubtedly be covered by Tri-west). No matter how you slice it, this is another example of a heterosexual male being prevented from shirking his duty, making an excuse, or tring to use homosexuality to get the old Army "Section 8." I just read where the Army will not be taking a personel "census" to determine the percentage of homosexuals to heterosexuals currently in service. I geuss this means no "Gay History Month??
