well, one of the largest mos's is medical, and combat. the combat medic. of which, i am. we fight along side 19's, 13, 11's, and do the same job... except, we are trained to take over medically when catostrophe strikes. I clear buildings, patrol, engage in combat, search for caches, participate in air insertion. today we no longer wear the red cross, we carry m4's, 240's, 249's, operate 50 cals, m9's etc. i would assume you know this... I'm out daily patroling, kle's, checkpoints, guard, medical missions, ect. i serve along side gay males and females, in combat and non-combat roles. no one cares. no one i've ever met anyways. 19d's, even 18 series from 1st group. everyone knows it. its not a secret anymore. i trained for over a year before coming here, learning the 19d and k jobs. i peform them until medical care is needed... then i switch roles.

its just amazing to me that there's some who still believe gays wouldn't be accepted, or need to be kept behind the desk... and the jokes about the shower stuff.. get over it. i'd wash their back if they asked. i'm comfy with my sexual orientation, and equally comfortable bunking and fighting with those who differ from me. who i or anyone else loves, is not the business of the military, the citizens of this nation, or anyone else for that matter.
