I am SO glad I am out, and SO glad I am no longer a recruiter:
The Pentagon said Tuesday it is taking steps to be prepared to accept transgender recruits on Jan. 1 following recent court orders temporarily blocking President Trump’s ban.
Last month, district court judges in Washington, D.C., and Maryland issued preliminary injunctions in two federal lawsuits that prohibit the Pentagon from moving ahead with Trump’s directive to phase out transgender service and gender reassignment surgeries.
The D.C. judge issued a further ruling last week that specifically prohibits Defense Secretary Jim Mattis from delaying earlier plans to begin transgender recruitment into the military next month.
"While reviewing legal options with the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense is taking steps to be prepared to initiate accessions of transgender applicants for military service on January 1, 2018, per recent court orders,” Pentagon spokesman Maj. Dave Eastburn wrote in an email to the Washington Examiner.
In June, Mattis delayed plans to begin enlistment and commissioning of transgender troops for six months. But Trump announced in late July via a series of tweets that transgender troops would no longer be allowed to serve in any capacity and followed up with orders to the Pentagon in August.
The Justice Department had indicated in legal filings that it may seek an emergency stay in the D.C. judge’s ruling so that the accessions could be delayed. It told the Washington Examiner last week it was still reviewing its options.
Trump’s transgender ban is being challenged by four federal lawsuits filed by troops and potential enlistees in D.C., Maryland, California, and Washington

Is the military THAT hard up for people that they have to accept these freaks?

I don't want our military to be PC. The military is there for one reason... to kill people and blow schidt up. That isn't PC either... What are they gonna do? Talk reason to them?

Trump needs to man up and arrest the judges blocking such orders and station MP's at every recruiting location.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Yeah this is going to work out well.
Knowing your President doesn’t want you in HIS military and understanding most military personnel don’t want you either WHY THE HELL would you subject yourself to that. I don’t care what the Judges say. It isn’t going to be pretty.

Sign up for the military and the taxpayers cut your junk off for free. Ridiculous that they're allowing them to have an elective procedure that prevents them from doing their job. Since 25% of them commit suicide after cutting their junk off the next thing they'll be suing the government for doing it.

'So WHO is "Commander In Chief" of the armed forces? Military is no democracy, or even a republic. It has ONE boss, who gives orders, and everyone else salutes, with a smart "Yes, Sir!". Or should. And the boss isn't some flake judge.
These judges contradicting lawful orders from someone way above their pay grade (not to mention intelligence) need a long walk off a short plank far at sea.
Weights and a swimming pool would suffice....

We had one of those when I was working. Still do I suppose. Neither him or her became a "shim". The joke going around was the procedure was called an addadicktome.
