I would join the Air Force, but would want to be a nurse. Of course nurses don't wear those white outfits like they used to.

Navy pilot! Hunting UAPs by day and parties by night!
French Foreign Legion?:devil:
Attachment 322291
None, previously AF, but now way too political and not about service.
I did my hitch in the Army. Four years was enough to convince me that I wasn't good soldier material, So I got the heck out. Crossdressed or not, I wouldn't do it again.
The Army would have to open up their age requirement considerably!
I think I still have my IV-A draft card somewhere (= been there, done that, got the shirt - and wore it out, thank you). For those Vietnam vets, "RA all the way".:)
I read Sara's post and laffed! 4 years!?:eek: 2 was 2 too many!:doh:
Thanks for the shout out, Georgia! :thumbsup:
Can't remember what I had for breakfast but still remember my draft, army service#: US56792382!:straightface:
Spent my first 18 years as a USAF Officer's BRAT. Served 20 years in USAF enlisted, then retired E-7, from the USAF and became Civil Service with the US Army for 23 year. Retired GS-12. I live just outside of an Army Post.
Just can't imagine people showing up to work cross dressed. Did know a few who did off duty. That is where to me Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) came from.
I'd opt for the US Space Force if Lieutenant Uhura (Star Trek) style uniforms are issued.
Well, if I had to, maybe a active reservist in the Coast Guard.
I would like to be a helms person on a Coastal Patrol Boat like the 87-foot Marine Protector class, Kittiwake (WPB 87316), out of Honolulu, Hawaii.
It would kind of thrilling to be in a skirt and heels, steering a mini yacht along the beaches of bikini clad hotties while patrolling the shores during Homeland Security duties !

Being a reservist, I would only have to go on ship 2 week a year and one weekend a month.
The rest of the time I would have to endure civilian life on the tropical island, the best I can.

The Queen’s Regiment takes on a whole new meaning!
I would join the Hair Force.
The way things are going now This could Happen Now,
I didn't want to get drafted and get sent to 'nam. If it came to "kill them or get killed" I'd have been dead meat.Quote:

I won't speak badly of the military. It did me a lot of good. It's just that I wasn't a good fit. Maybe my "Gender" stuff had something to do with it.
Now - If I was 18 again, and allowed to join as Sara, then maybe - but I still think that I'd be a terrible match.
I wouldn't do it again, but the Army is the way to go.
I would go back into the Navy. I only did 30 years my first hitch. Maybe the second time I would make it a full carrier.
I think you're all thinking about showing up for work at any base not wearing "BDU's;" Battle Dress Uniform. But wearing class A uniforms; skirt, blouse, jacket, heels and hosiery. My wife served in the Women's Army Corp and she hated getting ready everyday donning her class A's. If you're going to wear BDU's the only thing really different from the men is wearing a bra and panty. Hardly worth joining up for that attire.
I volunteered for the draft as Uncle Sam was going to snatch me up anyway. All I did was move up my date to report. I went to Nam as an infantryman; lasted six months; medevaced. Being able to wear a class A women's uniform was not worth the price of admission. Back then any hint of being a cross dresser or gay and you were out the door with an SPN (Special Processing Number) on your DD-214 would scar you in civilian life.
No thanks!
None.
I'm too old and even with relaxed standards they wouldn't want me.
Humm.....
I'm too old, but maybe the Space Force.
Navy has the sharpest female uniform. Love the cute uniform cap.
I used to cross-dress whilst in the Royal Air Force when home on leave with a Girlfriend, but any LGBT activity was very frowned on in those days so I lost my nerve and stopped
If I could look like Demi Moore in A Few Good Men, then I would join the Navy! But like others, i served already and there are many other things to consider besides how good I'd look in whites LOL
I wore whites in the USAF for my first 3.5 years. I was a medic. grin. NEVER was I ever issued BDUs and our boots (Brogans asa Li' Abners" had to sparkle shine all the time, even with road dust on them.
I would never pass the requirements to join.
I was in the Navy during the Vietnam era and worked on a carrier flight deck on the catapult crew. Launch, sleep, launch, sleep, do maintenance, launch, sleep, it was a dirty, greasy, dangerous job. I couldn?t do that kind of work at 70 but it was the biggest thrill of my life. It would be a terrible job for a crossdresser who didn?t like being covered in sweat and grease. It was about as far from that as a person could get. Gender is not a concern when one is trying to hook up a plane to the cat and exit from under the plane without getting sucked up the intake or blown into a propeller. That happened to one guy and the foot hit another guy in the head who looked at it and passed out. Not very conducive to feminine thoughts.
Part of my job in the USAF was to clean out the random chad bits from inside of the TTY machine that came off the reperferator and didn't go into the Bit Bucket (Chad bucket)., add new spool of paper and blank paper tape spools if the operators were swamped with traffic. Being swamped was an occurrence when ever a major operation was about to start or going on. My machines mad it so that only the right people could send or read the message traffic. Even the Commander's "Eye's Only" messages. I also maintained the "eye only" off line machine too. That was Nam era years. Did that for 16.5 years, The switched to voice machines for 23 years. Stopped doing that in 2002.
Hi Star,
My dad was in the Navy and worked in catapult and arresting gear too. He started on wood deck carriers. I remember he had old black and white movies of prop planes landing or getting flagged off. He also had movies of them going over the equator and all the crazy thing going on to the first timers. I was in the Air Force 75 to 81. If the military opened up to crossdressing I think it would be a horrible experience for the person going through it because of the narrow mindedness in the military.
Peace and Love
Missy :Peace:
Even if I was in a country that has an army, I doubt it. I'm not too fond of war and armies.
Clothing stores:)
Imagine parading in full makeup, miniskirts, sheer tights and high heels!
What a fun question! The Navy comes to mind first. "Hello, sailor!"
The Army would be my last choice. Admittedly my father fought in a World War, and my nephew was a Marine, and I'm proud of them both. Come to that, my wife started her career with the Naval Weapons Lab in Dahlgren, Virginia--admittedly as a civilian in the computer field, but she did her bit to support the Armed Forces anyway. And being female, she did get to wear a skirt! Maybe that would have suited me, since we both worked in the computer field. Still, getting back to the Army, although I enjoy using some of the requisite equipment of a soldier (though i don't drive a Hummer), I'm afraid I'd make a lousy soldier. Besides, battle fatigues are not exactly sexy.
So I'd have to plump for the Air Force. In all seriousness, clothes and crossdressing are not the be-all and end-all of life, and anyway what would it mean for me as a part-time crossdresser? Would I be wearing the women's uniform part of the time and the men's uniform the rest of the time? Somehow I don't think so. So I'd have to make the choice based on other criteria, and I'd like to be a pilot.
It's too late now. I chose a different course in life, and never even got around to flying lessons. But where I used to live decades ago, one local TV station used to close their evening's programming with that wonderfully inspiring poem, High Flight. And where I live now, within minutes' flying distance of an Air Force base, those planes go screaming overhead on occasion. And when some grumbler complains now and again about the noise, people here like to remind them that "that's the sound of Freedom." It's true in more ways than one. And I often think I'd like to be up there myself. Even if I wasn't wearing a skirt.
I know that doesn't have much to do with crossdressing, but it does carry a message. "Never let go of the dream"--no matter what the dream may be.
Served my time already in the Army during Viet Nam. However, if I were made to pick a Army I could dress in it would be the Salvation Army.
Great answer!
That cute Victorian bonnet was SO appealing! ;)Quote:
