The China Pearl Inn---Part Six.

[cgraven]

The next series takes me to the Pacific North West via Washington D C in mid August to mid September Glad. I think that I will be able to post from time to time though.

And how are you doing?

 

[Iwasagoodgirl]

Hi Gladiator, glad you hit the 5k button. HSG & I ordered the Cubs not to post until you did it.

CG we have got more reports and this afternoon we sit on the disciplinary panel for our sister group (code named the Wolves). We sit as independents and I hasten to add none of our guys and girls have disciplines pending.

Later we plan our training in the States before flying out tomorrow night.

 

[cgraven]

We call non court marshal disciplinary actions “Captain Mast”. I as well hope all your cubs have a clean slate G G .

Well I know reports will be calling as well as movement and training objective to complete G G .


Well done in meeting your goal to post number 5,000.

 

[The_gladiator]

I sort of cheated and double posted but oh well. You didn't need to order them not to, but I will admit to being happier than I should be that I got that 5,000th post. I guess we all have a little bit of a kid in us we never grow out of lol.
It would appear that my next goal is to reach 19,000 posts here on lit, I seem to be on my way to that.

I feel ok today so far. I'm still trying not to borrow trouble and worry about things before biopsies, blood tests and the CT scan I was ordered to get have results but worrying is kind of my thing, so working on that haha.

So President Trump is outlawing transgender personnel from the US Forces! What next? Banning gay, lesbian and bi sexual warriors? Put yourself in a desert with bulletts flying round your head and explosions all round and you won't care what sexual make up your colleague has as they fight alongside you.

I've got lesbian colleagues and bi sexual colleagues who are worth their weight in gold. Several members of the British Military are transgender, and bloody good soldiers.

Thank God we have a Queen and not an attention seeking loser who'd shit himself in the heat of battle as our Commander in Chief! So angry for my brave American colleagues.

Rant Over!

 

[The_gladiator]

Wow, I hadn't heard this about trump. That's pretty sad.

I quite agree with you Robyn. It use to be that our Congress was made up of 40% veterans, know its 3 to 8 members. They have no idea what we do and sacrifice to server their country.


Glad doctors now order up a full plate of tests to cover all the bases whiter they thing you need them or not. After all they get paid by the test and procedures.

Don't they realise we would die to protect our way of life and our country? I'm not bi sexual or lesbian but I've got cubs who are. I've served with American transgender warriors and I'm proud to call them my colleagues.

 

[HSG1489]

Earlier this year in Iraq I was training military engineers. One of my American colleagues, a brilliant engineer and a very brave soldier is transgender. She gave cover to GG and her group risking her own life to do her duty.

Now at a stroke of a pen she could lose the job she loves. Like us she has her NRR Badges which makes her international. I know she reads some of the posts on Lit and she knows we sometimes use Lit to pass information to each other.

If your reading this Bluebell call me! We might be able to help.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Congratulations Glad on hitting number 5000.


I have never understood what a person's sexual preferences had to do with their ability to do anything. I couldn't care less what you do in the privacy of your bedroom, well as long as it isn't abusive. But WHO CARES!!! Any person in the military that is not the norm is there because being in the military is important to them, otherwise they wouldn't be there. So dumb. So incredibly dumb.

 

[The_gladiator]

I'd love to agree with you CG, but since they found a tumor I'm inclined to think the further tests were warranted. Hoping its indeed nothing, though.

Why would our government do anything to ban someone who willingly wants to serve our country?

 

[HSG1489]

This has really hurt us all SF. CG will tell you we are closer than family and if you want to take one of us on you take us all on. We make great friends but deadly enemies.

My parents are fundamentalist Christians and I know they will probably be nodding in agreement with this stupidity. Meanwhile I've spoken to my CO who confirms NRR are not subject to this crap. But what about the poor buggers who are not NRR?

I can see why they're being cautious Glad as I would be. But your duty is to relax and have positive thoughts.

As for the military problem all I can say is those who have never been in intense action like we have and like CG has don't have a clue. At least our Queen has served in the military. God bless her!

I didn't realize she had. That's pretty cool.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Sorry to hear about the tumor, Glad. That is always scary. So keeping positive is the best thing to do.

I am glad the NRR are not affected. I assume that is because they are Nato rather than regular US. I suspect the stupid thing will go to the courts. Most of what he does ends up there. While it is in the courts, nothing will probably happen. What happens in the courts? Who knows.

It has only been six months, but it already feels like six years.

That is cool about the Queen. I think that a person should have to be in the military before they can be the President. How do you act as Commander in Chief, if you haven't got a clue about the military?

Of course, he hasn't a clue about anything. But I was thinking for EVERY presidential candidate. The founding fathers missed an opportunity here when they wrote the requirements for president.

 

[RobynTashaYa]

You're right about NRR coming under special rules, it's essential.

Well we fly to the states tomorrow night. I hear a certain US Navy boy will be in town and on leave. I'm going to have to wear my mini skirt!

 

[sharingfantasies]

You know, for a hermit, I live a strange life. A couple of years ago, I got edema so bad that I ended up in the hospital several times, the final time for several weeks. It left my legs with scar tissue. I can feel sensitivity, but the legs tend to twitch or itch or even have a tickling sensation as a result.

So earlier today, I heard some rustling sounds and couldn't figure out what it was. I finally decided it was birds outside the window.

Just a few minutes ago, I feel this tickling sensation on my leg. At first I ignore it, but it keeps going on and on. This is unusual, so I think, must be a daddy long leg spider trying to get up my leg. It wouldn't be the first time that I have had this happen, but I haven't seen any spiders around here since the rains started. So, oh well. I lean over, lift my pants leg and darn if there isn't a lizard on my leg.

It jumps off and moves to the side. So I get up to go get my shoes and the tub I used last time to get a lizard outside. But when I come back it has disappeared. I assumed it was wiggling on my leg to get my attention. So why did it disappear when I was ready to help it outside? Who knows.

Now I just have to wait for it to show up again. For a lizard that has been in my back bedroom for several weeks, it was moving pretty good. The last time a lizard decided it was tired of being in the house it was barely moving and let me pick it up to get it outside.

My life is odd.

 

[The_gladiator]

Yes it is scary, thanks everyone for the support, it helps me stay positive

Funny about the lizard SF I think the most interesting animal I get in my apartment is fruit flies.

I hate those tiny bugs. They like to fly in my face when I am reading or on the computer.

No sign of the lizard since earlier. Oh well. If he wants out, he is going to have to show up. I am not chasing him down.

Enjoy your time with the navy, Robyn.

I enjoy making my special blend of BBQ sauce, water and dish soap which makes a wonderful trap for them, the sweet and vinegar of the sauce lures them in when they land on the water though, the soap breaks the surface tension, and they fall in and drown, surprisingly affective.

 

[Iwasagoodgirl]

I nearly PMKL about your Lizard SF! In some countries we have to check our boots overnight in case a scorpion is hiding in it (mind you no scorpion would DARE hide in HSG's boots lol).

All ready and set for the States. Called my friend to arrange payment for the care of Lightning, and the cattery caring for Mr Darcy. Spoke to my folks in Texas. They're having a great time with the inlaws. Nieces are making friends with Rick's nieces and my nephew (18 months old) is the Star of the show.

No CG? Is he ok?

Shouts out

WE LOVE YOU CG!

 

[sharingfantasies]

LOL Poor HSG...

When I first moved in here, I checked my shoes every day for spiders, there were so many of them. But I have never found one in there.

I have stayed in places where I kept my shoes on the bed with me though.

Not sure about CG, I know he is working hard to get ready for his training in California. I hope he is okay.

I am glad the Texas group is all getting along. Kids make that kind of thing easier.

So back you go west for the second time this month. That is a lot of flying. The temps have been hot, but cooler than the beginning of the month. Be careful of the flooding that happens in the washes. All those little bridges on the roads going over every single wash are there for a very good reason. If it rains, get on higher ground, fast.


Glad: I never heard of that way of getting rid of the dang bugs. And here I have just been waiting until they land on the computer screen and killing them then.

So what do have to get rid of medium sized moths? Last year I was invaded by these little moths, this year they are bigger, but not huge. They are a pain to try to kill as they move faster than I do. But then, what doesn't???

Awe G G you will make me blush young lady. I love all you sweet young troopers as well.

I am OK SF just busy as a one hand paper hanger.

Glad hang in there.

That was a bloody brilliant story. I want to hear more.
