When any citizen, or would-be citizen of the United States enlists in the military, accepts an appointed or elected public office, or enters into a contract with the government
of the United States to provide services for said states, he or she
is generally required to swear an oath of office, loyalty or
allegiance, (and sometimes, secrecy), wherein he pledges to protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic.

Good stuff.
Please read my post about the MAY 1st strike!
If you agree (please feel free to comment!), let everyone you know become aware... THIS is our (last?) chance--for impeachment, for ending the occupation of Iraq, AT LEAST for forcing our topics into the presidential campaigns!
Defending Freedom through National Solidarity!

That was hard to overcome, but eventually we just agreed to disagree and he never gave me a hard time about it.
My Chief as someone I really looked up to though. He not only defended me, but challenged me to work hard. He was tough but fair and I appreciated it dearly. I was usually exhausted at the end of the day, but we always ended it laughing.
Sure, there are somethings I really miss about my time in the service. I knew when I was there I was there for the right reasons...and I really was willing to go to war if necessary. It's just things changed when I got out and I was able to see things from a completely different perspective finally.
The whole reason I got out was because everything changed for me once my son was born. He was my FIRST priority and the Navy hated me for that.
At one point my boat was scheduled to take a three week training run up the coast to train newly Commissioned officers how to drive a boat. Well, these orders came up with less than 24hrs notice, my husband (Who out ranked me) was away at GITMO doing "War Games" and my Command childcare contracts were only allowed to watch a military dependent child for 72hrs consecutively. So, after the first five days underway my son, had I actually showed up for duty, would have been placed in Rhode Island State Child/Family Services until I returned and I possibly could have lost perminant custody of my own child...just for doing my JOB!
This was unconscionable in my book. So, instead of reporting for duty for this three week training run, I felt I had no choice but to go UA until my next regular muster.
I was immediately arrested and held for UA until I could talk to a JAG to have my released to care for my son until my Captain's Mast.
It was agreed that I had gone UA but not without warrent. My base Captain agreed I was unfairly placed in a situation where I had to make the choice I did and that it would be best to simply seperate me from service under a Voluntary Discharge, with full Honors!
And Unheard of "RE4" Reenlistment code attached to a "Honorable" discharge.
Yeah, I was railroaded.
It actually worked too.
They never called back after I explained that I'm Ex-Navy and am well aware of the law in regard to harassing minors.
I have also spoken to a few female family members and asked them to seriously reconcider enlisting in any military branch. Having been there and done that, I still don't think they're ready for female enlisted at all. The "Old Boys" network just can't get it through their thick heads that we require a different kind of attitude and handling. We're not men with internal plumbing. We're WOMEN and in that we have a completely different way of thinking, processing information and acting out on decission making. We handle stress in a completely different way from men and can actually handle much more than our brothers. We can actually problem solve on our feet better and hold more "First time" shooter records than our brothers.
But that doesn't mean we're better, we're just different.
it makes u wonder if our imformation superhighway has only served to defeat us. we need to revive the spirit of the 60's and get people out in the streets with signs and chants and oneness all around to prove we will not sit down in front of the computer to fight this battle passivelyand quietly. we have to make some noise if we want to be heard!
Cheers!
Ed
