Tales from Calpernia's military days as a Navy Field Combat Medical Specialist (HM8404)
Michigan to Mongolia - Steve Ralls on Elaine Donnelly
Bilerico Project blogger and PFLAG Director of Communications Steve Ralls was kind enough to use my story as a contrast to the rantings of anti-GLBT Elaine Donnelly, President of the Center for Military Readiness. Elaine is still clinging to the notion that American troops are so delicate and immature that they can’t mentally handle the idea that someone like my friend Reichen or me is fighting beside them.

View Larger Map (This map is live! You can zoom, drag and click icons for more info!) | I helped save a downed Chinese airliner on a remote Alaskan island! Well, 15 years ago I did, ha ha. It’s been 15 years, almost to the month, so I’m sure I’m not remembering every detail correctly… feel free to point out any mistakes if you happened to be there, ha ha. Early morning on April 6th, 1993, when I was still a field combat medic in the Navy and living on a remote Alaskan island (yes, really!), a Chinese airliner encountered some kind of severe turbulence and had to land on the even more remote Alaskan island of Shemya. I was on duty in the emergency room that night, and volunteered to fly the quick hop over to Shemya and start processing the wounded. |
