Thank all of you above for your service.
I enlisted in the Air Force less than a month after graduating high school (and about 3 weeks after I was married). That allowed me to support my wife while earning G.I. bill benefits. I lived off base most of the time, and would occasionally find time to dress up a bit. The Air Force was a great place to start, but crossdressing probably shouldn't be the priority when in any branch of the service. I did my 4 years and out.
