Mr. Bill. I to had to deal with isolation.. I was the only female amung 1300 infantrymen. I served in Tarin Kowt Afgh. I know the dangers there. I was treated in the worst way (being female). I also hunted the enemy, killed a child, and I am a combat medic. There are so many things that did go wrong. I am %100 disabled and filing a civil suit against my commander and others upon suggestion of all people... the Army. I hope something good comes of this. As of right now, my congresswomen is attempting to ensure no other female is left alone with all those men. I was raped, filed a criminal suit overseas and it was disregaured.
I almost killed myself the other day... then decided if I did, they would win and I WILL NOT LET them.

I'm still at a disadvantage this morning. Without power I had to open a bottle of water, drink a little of it, pour in some instant coffee. shake it up like crazy and still have all these floaters, then try to get my morning coffee fix. Yuch! I'm just now having my first cup of the good stuff :)

I'll bet you did.  My military experiences were different, dealing mostly with isolation, separation, and stuff like that.  I know the part of missing stuff we can take for granted but not the rest you went through.  I do have a buddy that got recalled and is now serving in Afghanistan.  I get emails very infrequently and it is still dangerous over there although many people have forgotten about it.  I keep trying to send him a care package and he tells me not to cause he wouldn't get it, or it would be ruined/spoiled when he did.  My experiences (Navy comms) and timing (1972-2000) were a little different through shear luck on my part.   I'm honored that you are part of our forum here.  If you need a help with something I can provide, just let me know.

Pay school Tax Badge which is actually an anti-badge.  It randomly removes one badge from your album.


Barb, if you only won second place, the competition was fixed  :)
