Army Airborne Ranger. 22 years.

I'm particularly interested in hearing more about this. I'm going in as an 11B with Option 40 in my contract (Airborne & RIP), and when I get my orders for Basic they'll have me leaving within sixty days of getting my bachelors degree on May 15th. I've accepted myself as a CDer, but I feel my desire to serve and to go to Afghanistan is an important part of me as well.

I see there's even a few people on here currently in still who are finding time to dress, and I've spoken with at least one crossdresser online who's a 19D in his third tour and out to his unit. I think I'd probably best err on the side of caution far as letting my unit find out about this when I go in, but it's good to learn more about the experiences of others.

Thanks Sherry! Just back from 3rd tour, 1 OIF (Iraq) and 2 OEF (Afghan). Worst thing about all 3 tours was not being able to let Lisa come out and play! Too many posts and countries to list. Most service with 82nd Airborne and USASOC. Retiring in a couple of months after 23 years.

Thanks to everyone who has served and protected.

AIRBORNE!

Was wondering if I could get any advice as far as being a crossdresser about to enter the service as an 11B with Option 40. I'm getting my bachelors degree shortly before going in this summer, which means I'll go in as an E4 and I almost went all the way through ROTC but decided I'd rather be a Ranger than an officer in the reserve.

You had better be careful. My son-in-law went into the Army last year with the Ranger option. He did truck driving as his MOS then went to Airbourne school. That was no problem but a few days after he got to the Ranger training unit he failed the Ranger PT test. A few weeks later he was at Ft Bragg then a month after that he was in Afgahnistan as a truck driver.

So make sure you can pass that PT test!!

As far as dressing. It's a hard thing to do in living in the barracks. It would help if you connected with a nearby support group and could keep some clothes with one of the members and dressed at the meetings.
