Jennifer has a little more than a month to go for her deployment in Afghanistan and she's still transitioning. A military doctor in country renewed Jenn's hormone prescription just before they would have run out. Jenn came home for some well deserved R&R earlier this spring so we had time to visit her favorite "watering hole" one Saturday night with all of her friends there who were so happy to see her in good spirits.

Anyone who is willing to take the oath and serve their country should not have to face any barriers other than being fit enough to perform their duties.

True that.  It's about straight shooting, nothing else in the end.
