As my name suggests, I'm a member of the US military; specifically, Air Force. I'm currently located in Afghanistan... but I have a nice cushy desk job that allows me free time to browse sites such as this one. I'm a shining example of your tax dollars hard at work, ladies and gentlemen ;D
I've run into quite a few interesting problems in the military. After all, with so many walks of life gathered together in one government-sponsored employment, how do you please everyone without offending anyone? Short answer: You don't...
Welcome!
I'm new too. Welcome!

Welcome! Hope them US tax payers are paying you well! ;) Surfing the Interwebs is a hard and dangerous work, after all, what with the risk of being eaten by a troll or contracting what passes for crotch rot in the world of computers ;D
Hi and welcome. :)
Hello and welcome to HAF, Foxhole Freethinker. Several members of my family (6, to be exact; it's a large family) are, or have been members of the USAF. You have my respect and thanks for your service, even behind a desk.
I hope you enjoy your time reading and posting here. (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg830.imageshack.us%2Fimg830%2F860%2Fsmilew.gif&hash=8238eab24d16418eb1c8cd60d971239ab1363c74)

My brother was in the USAF too (the rest of the family is Navy, he just had to be different) and he had some interesting problems there as well, tho his were more related to choices of recreation.
Welcome to the forum. I think there's very few people here you'll offend, we're all pretty used to give-and-take.
Hello Foxhole Freethinker
I know atheists aren't permitted in foxholes but I'm not sure of the ruling in regard to freethinkers.
I've never felt the exclusion to be onerous though.
I hope your desk remains cushy and keep an eye on our new local friends and allies.
Thank you all for the welcome! I'm looking forward to being a member!
Hi Foxhole Freethinker
I have a brother who's in Afghanistan working for Blackwater.

Welcome to the forum.
Ooh! That's very cool. The Asmo, he approves of the mercs. :D
Welcome aboard! Hair Force eh? Just kidding. I was Navy before my career was cut short by an allergic reaction to the anthrax vaccine. Of all things, taken down by a needle and syringe. But the folks with the AF were kind enough to let me use one of their Neurologists for my post discharge follow ups ;D
