I like your tag name; it sounds so fun, spunky, and energetic!
Anyway, you're right. I should be cautious, especially at the VA. I never really identified with all these issues when I joined the service, but back then, they didn't allow these issues to be spoken of. It was like, "Don't ask, don't tell." So, I just did my thing and performed the best I could. I was and am probably more heterosexual than anything else, but I will acknowledge easily that I'm asexual now. Rather, I'm abstinent.
