Gracie,
what was it like being in the military for 7 years? i can't imagine being on active duty that long -- for a JOB.
what was it like adjusting afterwards? My sister's husband is quitting the Navy in 2004 after almost 10 years.

The thing is -- talk about opposites attract -- I would *never* have a job where I couldn't be openly gay. That is not the way I am. I don't have to be in-your-face, but I am a very honest person. Nobody that I know who 'hides it' is living a very healthy life. It may be pragmatic, but it takes its toll on you. I love women and I am totally proud of it. I could not spend my days around those narrowly educated, self-congratulating fools in uniform.
