Military
 Well, I was in the military, and that is one of the big reasons I chose to get out! I got out in 94, so I'm not exactly sure what has changed, but here goes...
First, my mouth dropped open when I read your post! I have a 14 and 7 year old and can't imagine leaving them, sick or not! But a 3-month-old baby! When I was in, it used to be if you got pregnant, you had the choice of being discharged. Last I knew, you could request a hardship discharge, based on the circumstances of the baby being in the hospital, preemie, etc. But here's the catcher to all this...it IS the military! If they don't want to let you out, they don't have to! They can do anything they feel like! That's what is BS! Sorry, this mom should NOT be going anywhere, let alone Iraq, with her baby in this state! Wow! Okay now you got me going !
18 ONLY if they are in the military

Same here - military fixed him tho
His pants were hanging down really low and I had asked him a million times to just pull them up a little bit. He wouldn't do it.
Went to the recruiter's office with him and his recruiter met us out in the foyer between all the military offices. Son reached out to shake his hand and the recruiter instead reached over and jerked his pants down. Didn't say one word. Turned around walked into his office.
Son pulled his pants up to where they should have been. The recruiter then comes right back out, says hello, and shakes his hand.
Son never wore his pants like that again and, yes, he still enlisted. :)
If I had a child in the military now,
sorry but probably would do as a lot of families did for Vietnam war and that was to head for the border, namely Canada. I thought if gay in the military, supposed to try and keep it quiet?? These to me are ever bit as bad as protesting at funeral of AIDS patients. You have some really sick people in this world to do things like this and please, like you, I don't want to get started on the other folks president in Washington.
Was that supervisor in the military or something?
One day you should have all plotted together and when she came in the room, jumped up and saluted. ROFL
I had a barium enema quite a while ago and my splenic flexure goes up really high and then twists. Sometimes gas will get stuck in there and it will hurt like the dickens. I'm glad I had the BE, though, because I know what it is and that it will pass in a little while. If it didn't, I would be at the urgent care pronto.
Sons in Military - Thank You
Thanks, next time I hear from either one of my children, I'll ask them about this. I wonder why the military just doesn't supply them with it ????? Thanks so much.
yes her husband is in the military.

military appreciation??
I'm trying to help my son with his writing project. the subject is military appreciation. I can't think of anything they do for us other than fight for our country/rights and help out in times of need (such as in Katrina)
anybody have any ideas?
military appreciation
Can he send a letter to a deployed soldier and write about doing that for school? When my husband was in Iraq, he loved getting mail from kids.
Also, he could look up different occupations they do, such as Seabees help rebuild war torn countries. They also built a bridge in Maine to help the sea life. Let me know, I can email articles.
Being a military spouse, I think that...
she should qualify for unemployment, but not indefinitely. She paid in to California unemployment insurance and had to relocate because her spouse is serving our country. She should, in my opinion, be able to draw on unemployment from California for a reasonable period of time until she can get another job. However, that is one of the reasons I like this job. I take it with me whenever I move.
Heh. Try military medicine
My husband woke up with RUQ pain, which got progressively worse. I took him to the navy hospital ER. They said he had a GI bug and told him to go home, drink fluids, yada yada yada.
We got about 10 minutes from the hospital when he started kicking and punching the inside of my car because of his pain. I knew immediately what it was because I had seen both my dad and uncle go thru it.
I flew back to the hospital and drove up to the ambulance dock, which was closer to the ER. He was telling me not to park there - he'd get into trouble. I told him I didn't give a rat's behind, that he was sick and that's where he was going. There were 2 guys sitting in the ambulance who helped him into the waiting room while I parked the car.
We sat in the waiting room for a couple of hours. They finally called him back. Every so often, the corpsman came out and gave me an update. I finally, almost rudely, asked him if they considered doing an IVP or a cystoscopy because of the location and severity of the pain? He looked at me and mumbled something about them thinking about doing an IVP. Anyway, he had a massive kidney stone. So, they sent him home (this was on a Friday) with Tylox (Percocet equivalent). He threw up all weekend and we thought it was due to the narcotics. I didn't know better. Narcotics had made me throw up before too.
I rushed him back Monday morning and he was admitted immediately. He was septic and close to septic shock. The uro doc said his ureters looked like tissue paper and they had to place stents in both of them. Then, he finally gets discharged with a stent in his bladder, that was kept open, so he constantly dribbled urine. One or two days later, I heard a loud moan. He walked out of the bathroom with the stent in his hand. They hadn't placed it right.
Anyone still want government run healthcare?
Please remember our military today!
Happy 4th to everyone! Please just take a minute today to remember all of our wonderful, brave men and women who have fought to make this day possible. This is not just another holiday to get time and a half, or just another day to complain about no work, bad hours, etc. This is a day to celebrate our freedom, the freedom that is made possible by every member of our military!!
Please remember them in your prayers today.
A military man shot his wife
This man was our son's recruiter when our son signed with the military three years ago. We had several meetings with him. He was a "fun" guy to be around, always smiling, always happy. But now, this and I can't get over the sick feeling in my stomach. He is on the run, of course. He left behind his little boy, with no mother and now no father. Temporary insanity?????
Military wife with a suggestion
Beef jerky is a great gift and Jolly Ranchers. My husband is very popular at mail call time.
Happy Thanksgiving & we thank our military! (sm)

Either the bank or Military Surplus store.
There would be only two reasons for me to run away from my home. One reason would be voluntarily, as in winning the lottery--hence the bank. The other would also be voluntary but there would be retribution involved--hence the Military Surplus store.
