I find this embarassing and glad I have no reason to travel anywhere in acus anymore

Oh I don't just walk up to people and do it, only if I've been talking with them. I rarely go places where anyone is going to be in uniform.

Didnt mean it derogatorily (is that a word?)

being walked up and thanked has happened to both me and my husband

just kinda freaks us both out

Understandable I don't like getting noticed or singled out (although it happens all too often). I'm super shy and also don't like people complimenting me for the most part as I try to always be humble in life.

This is why everytime I run into a soldier/serviceman out somewhere I try and thank them and shake their hand. They do so much for so little and with little or no thanks.

The US embassy in Costa Rica's 4th of July party is my favorite holiday of the year, they bring marines, soldiers, etc. Im so proud and thankful to have them around, for us abroad it is indeed a great honor to have soldiers defending rights for citizens all over the world.
Wish I could join the army, I wonder if they'd take me, I was to afraid to enroll and get rejected do to an eyesight condition on one of my eyes.. now that I'm returning home Ill see if it's possible... defending my country would be an honor, it makes me mad to hear people critizicing soldiers, war is their work not their decision, they do as they are told because they have pledged to serve their country.... that's why people like Michael Moore walking up to mourning mothers of soldiers telling them the war is bogus and their children died for nothing pisses me off.... but hey, we cant all think alike and I respect that...

they took me with uncorrected eyesight (and didnt correct it...grr) and rust halos in my corneas


if you're serious most medical conditions can be waived if theyre disqualifiers


but you can also serve as a civilian on a post

I am serious, my problem is a severe keratoconus that blurs my right eye vision and creates a white halo on my left eye...

On a sunny day like this http://drspinello.com/kcvision/album/Glare/index.html (I have to wear those grampa looking solar shields)
At night like this http://drspinello.com/kcvision/album/Night_vision/index.html
Right eye only like this http://drspinello.com/kcvision/album/Transplant/index.html

This is the reason why I cant drive much specially at night, lost perception/3D
