JMPO but wouldn't it be almost impossible to actually go thru a full transition in an Academy? I am thinking about the hormones, body changes, surgeries, and generally missing class or training? I can understand once someone is finished training being able to fully transition, but during academy training??? Also how is missed time accounted for, if they transition over three years and are unable to fully perform, deploy, or serve during that time is it just waived or is the service time extended to provide for a full ADSO?? JMHO but waiving their ADSO for transitioning seems a little unfair to those who don't transition and have to deploy, fight, or go to restrictive and dangerous areas.
I know DEI is the governing force right now, but you would think there would be restrictions on certain "wants" while in training status? It would seem to me that every LBGTQ+ person who wanted to transition, but could not afford it or did not have insurance would just join the military and get it done for free and also avoid most if not all of the ADSO??? Guess I am just confused as to how one can train and transition at the same time
