My discharge is for that, and there is no paper trail that can prove that the cause of all of this was my being gay.Edward Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809066504265460774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823232508991262991.post-19123213950635857792010-04-22T05:30:01.101-07:002010-04-22T05:30:01.101-07:00I don't know all the terms and whatnot of disc...I don't know all the terms and whatnot of discharge but going AWOL doesn't seem horrible when you knew you would be eventually discharged because you were gay. We all know that hindsight is better is foresight. I applaud you for not sleeping with guys in hotel rooms and doing that route. You were brave to actually date those around you which is good and not seek it somewhere else and feel "sleezy". But my question is, if they do end DADT, can you go back?Justifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246954226432802978noreply@blogger.com
