Six years in the US Army, in the 60's. 36K20 Was my MOS and dressed on leave only, when I could. A hearth felt thank you to all my brothers and sisters in arms for your service. I wish our government would honor our service men and women better.
To all you lovely ladies, thanks for your service,
12 years USAF. I dressed a little if you call lingerie dressing when I lived off base. I was so in denial of who and what I was. I have to agree with you Nicole. I have never had Veterans day off. Most Vets I know are working that day. Thank you to all who have served. Welcome home to all you Vietnam Vets.
Twenty seven years US Army--combat engineer. Dressed when I could.

Army Reserves from 2011-present. 88M motor transportation operator in a PLS unit. I don't dress on weekends I have drill but dress whenever I can otherwise. I've never been deployed (volunteered for every one that I've been able to though). Getting out in December. I really want to stay in but staying enlisted in a unit that most likely won't deploy in years is messing with my civilian career path (software engineer) way too much. I might commission if my career path doesn't work out though.
First of all I want to say thanks to ALL VETERANS for your service. I was in the AIR FORCE from 1978 to 1981, I was a 461(ammo troup). I dressed mostly on weekends at home, while stationed in England, I lived in the barricks(couldn't dress).
I love being a girl
Us Army here too, 91 series 2001-2005. I tried to call the VA yesterday and got so mad and frustrated I tried to call our mutual senator's office to complain. Guess what? Office closed for Veteran's Day, when a veteran needs help getting medical treatment.Originally Posted by NicoleScott
I wore pantyhose a couple times on road marches to avoid blisters. Outside of that, I wore panties ONCE under my uniform. As many surprise drug tests as we had, I didn't think it to be smart to do it daily.
I was a leader, so I learned more about other people than I sometimes cared to know. Once during a surprise barracks inspection, I watched out first sergeant pull a drawer full of panties from a male soldier's drawer. No one said a word, but I remember thinking, I'm not alone! In my last unit, I had a MTF TS soldier. She was slready being chaptered out for other reasons and I only met her once. Most of the unit seemed accepting.
USAF Oct 1959-Mar1965. Didn't dress at all back then.
It was while I was in the military that I learned other males had the same love for pantyhose that I did. While stationed at Fort Dix, three times during one cycle pantyhose were discovered in the common areas of a barracks. We had a drill sergeant who kept telling me he'd find the "queer" in his platoon. Each time, I gave him a direct order that nothing was to be said about the discovery and he was not to conduct surprise shakedowns. I reasoned with him that it would hurt the reputation of his platoon within the company and he most likely wouldn't discover the guilty party. In the end he did as I had instructed. Although, before a road march he did a "boot blouser" inspection. I am sure he wasn't looking at the little rubber bands.
Another time, when I was in Germany, the military police came to our building. They had seen a woman wearing a red evening dress, black hosiery and heels sneaking in. They searched the building high and low but could not find the woman who had snuck into the barracks. The dress and heels were found in the trash.
Of course, since Al Gore hadn't invented the Internet, yet we didn't have forums like this. We had to stay deep in the closet. One guy was chaptered out of the service because he he took some Poloroids of himself dressed. I wanted to take him aside and tell him he wasn't alone. Instead, I just made certain the DD-214 didn't give a clear reason. If the Internet had existed when I was a kid, my life would have been far different.
United States Army 1983 to 1995. This was my Job:

US Navy. 66-70. Spent 2 years in the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, from 12/66 to 12/68. I picked up a custom styled wig in Japan while I was on liberty. I kept it onboard the ship with me.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
Kimberly: Very well done. Where have you been girl?

US Army - 1999 (if you don't count the 4 years at WP), 2006. Tank plt leader, scout platoon leader, tank Bn staff, tank company commander - amongst other things.
Hope it's not too late to weigh in..... US Army '79-'82 - Combat Engineer (sort of) MOS 12e.... spent my entire tour about 10 clicks north of Stuttgart... Closest thing to combat was when Carter tried to invade Iran to get the hostages. All of Europe went on alert. Dressed before and after but never during the time in service.
Thanks to all that served.
Renne.....
Three years in the Army during the Vietnam War. I never left the USA. My MOS was 04B2LVN: North Vietnamese translator, but the only thing I ever did was computer programming.
Got drafted in September 1970, Basic at Ft Dix. Advanced at "Tiger Land", Ft Polk and graduated with an 11B MOS. Sure enough, sent to 'Nam for a year. While there managed to pick up a 67A1F MOS (Door Gunner) and then 71L (Admin Specialist).
Sometimes I joke that being able to type saved my life. Then I remember a guy in my AIT unit that was 3 years younger than me, baby face, arrived in country the same day. I visit 3W line 63 every time I get to the wall to pay my respects and reflect on how life flows.
Jenn A --- nothing fancy, just me.
1969 to 70 USAF Thailand. I considered it disservice since we murdered millions of innocent people for nothing. I didn't realize we had no business in Vietnam until an AWOL friend told me and got me curious enough to look it up in the encyclopedia in the base library. I was depressed most of the time in the military. It felt like prison, much like my childhood. So I didn't have the mood or opportunity to dress.
T-shirt says: "Hi, I Crossdress!"
US Navy from 77 to 83 aboard the ship I never dressed. But had an apartment in Chula Vista that I shared with my wife at the time. She let me dress a few times. I served during peace time but the chance that something would happen was still there. So seeing action or not I still want to thank all of our vets out there for doing your part.
thank you for your service.....
Long time closet dresser and Army Vet. After basic at my first duty station I dressed a little. Mostly lingerie I bought off base. Wasn't till I was retired that I took a bigger interest in dressing. I've always had various items of clothing on hand, but nothing big. After retirement, I started looking at full outfits, hair color, nails etc. problem is the SO is not accepting of Rachel much. I dress when I can and am happy to dream and write about it in a private journal.
