I don't understand how he

I don't understand how he goes AWOL, now he's been found as a woman, and he's getting a honorable discharge. Which means she will have her service benefits, wonder if the US government will pay for her sex change.
If it was a guy who went AWOL, he wouldnt be getting this treatments.

Congrats Teri! This is what

Congrats Teri! This is what is suppose to happen with state aid, however damn few ever do it. 25 yrs ago, I had a 2 yr old, had recently lost twins to a freak accident and was 6 months pregnant when my husband decided we no longer "worked" never heard from him again, or saw a dime. I went on state aid, I was mortified, and everyone at the grocery store was soooo judgmental! However, I was able to attend nursing school (through sheer determination) and wanting to be self sufficient. I was after 11/2 yrs on welfare and spending every second of free time studying....to come off welfare! Plus anything you do in health care...you will always have work.
Teri I wish there were more people like you on welfare! What the government should do is, if your on welfare..you have to choose from a list of trade jobs....I.e CNA, machinist, truck driving..ect. Then they can be off welfare in 2 yrs. and they have marketable skills. Health care no matter what job is a good choice and maine is in need of machinists, big time.
