Another chapter filled with such vivid imagery that I'm more watching than reading things unfold. Thank you! 

I'm getting repetitive, I know,but thank you for another wonderful chapter.

I have tried to avoid the darker aspects, or dance around them, of being gay in the military back then in the hopes that I wouldn’t stir up too many painful memories

But that's just it. Some things must be faced head on. You don't need to dance around them. The best and worst times in my life happened in the Navy, and given the choice between having to relive the bad parts so I don't forget the goodand never having been in at all-well, I'd choose being in every time.

I just have to say… you are so talented!  I get so wrapped up in your words it allows my imagination to consume me and nothing else but the story plays out in my mind just like a movie.  Its so real it’s almost as if i have ACTUALLY seen the movie… if that makes any sense.  It also helps that i was in the Army 15 years so it really does manifest easily having knowledge of the topics you touch on and the fond memories of my time as an MP in the Army (mostly all under “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” so this absolutely touches home for me!)

Same here, @BoYGaSM. It's all so familiar, so comfortable...like remembering the fun times with your unit. For me, sadly, it's also scary. Weeble's experience at Bragg reflected mine in the fleet-with two exceptions: it ended my career, but not before I was attacked and raped with a broom handle for being the queer on ship. Like Weeble, I made a decision not to out the 10 or so guys I'd been with-even my version of Wicomb, though he became a right bastard instead of just being distant. 

It feels like a birthday and Christmas present all rolled into one everytime I open BZ and see the words, " @losolentcommented on Life of the Spare"

@AssmunchHoly fuck. You definitely have a gift. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 

Texas isn't that bad, especially in the larger cities of Houston or Austin. Houston has the largest medical center in the world, and Fort Bend County (Sugar Land) is the most ethnicly diverse county in the United States. The major cities are Democratic (liberal leaning as opposed to conservative Republicans) and both Harris County where Houston is located and Fort Bend County are run by Democratic governments. Houston institutions sometimes have a lead on housing opportunities for fellows and other practitioners. 

Whatever you decide, congratulations!
