Buttigieg did serve in the Naval Reserve, and did deploy to Afghanistan on a 6 month tour of duty in 2014 as an…

"Gray Area" to Blue retirement

“Gray Area” to Blue retirement

My previous post talked about the not-so-smooth process that members of the Retired Navy Reserve (“Gray-Area” reservists”) who are turning sixty in 2019 are facing. For my shipmates and their families, I need to pass on what I have encountered to help you with the process.

Okay so I know there’s a lot of democrats preparing to run in the 2020 election, but this guy is the only one who gives me hope ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

His name is Pete Buttigieg and he’s the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He’s an Elder Millennial (thank you, Iliza Schlesinger) who knows we need to mix it up if we’re ever going to survive the future.

You apparently need 65,000 individual fonars to qualify for the debates, so if anybody wants to join me in donating (even $1 counts!) to his campaign it would make a world of difference.

He has a book too, if you want to learn more about him:

You know when you're trying to decide between two things, so you try both of them out, research them a bit, and think about it? You originally have one in mind but then you get the other and all of a sudden your mind is made up. You know in the back of your mind that the other option is better for you, but you still want to give the other option some more thought? That's how I feel right now thinking between active duty and reserves. I just know in the back of my mind that I've already decided on active duty but I continue to look at reserves just because I know it would be better for my relationship. We've done long distance before though, we know how to handle it and make it work. I want to marry this person someday and active duty and being separated for years will be so hard, but they're worth it. I've always wanted to be in the military and I don't want to always wonder "what if?" if I don't go active duty. At least I have a few weeks before my recruiter comes back to officially decide.
