I'd hope that you do already.

Nothing different than being stuck on the 40 ouest in Montreal during rush hour and having nature call (being either a guy OR a girl). Fuck.

This is NOT something limited to military scenarios.

Most people would just say "hurry up and pull over at the next opportune time" - and that would settle the matter.

"Yalla, Yalla, Yalla" = "hurry, hurry, hurry."

LOL!

 

[mariomike]

LOL!

There's a "female-friendly" version of the truck bomb called "Pitstop". The receiving end is designed to be mounted inside the vehicle with a five-foot "transfer hose" attached to a "quick-disconnect" mechanism.
Advertised  as "big enough for a non-stop coast-to-coast haul."
All kidding aside, congratulations and good luck. I am sure you will do fine. I think a positive attitude is everything.

Let me make this really easy for you ...


They do the same damn thing that a chick caught in rush-hour on the 40 ouest in Montreal does ...

SFA until the first opportunity presents itself.

Exactly the same thing a man has to do when the requirement to hit a pit stop (for whichever) reason ...

They live with it; life will go on. Confirmed that this evening with the "Tanker Guy" that I live with. He asked "why do you think tankers have it special in this case - we get to wait just like every other guy and gal and civilian in the same situation?"

Going back to the topic of periods, the IUD Mirena stops periods in some women after 6 months or so. Some women it stops completely, others aren't so lucky. For me it has drastically lightened it every month and it's barely even noticeable anymore (except for the hellish cramps) - but I definitely think it's worth trying it out if you want to lighten your period. Just my  :2c:

More like $300 and change for Mirena...and I'm not sure if one can get it through CF Health Services as I suspect it's not within the Spectrum of Care.  I do believe they only hand out the pill.  Most civvie drug plans won't pay for Mirena - including PSHCP.

For what it's worth - my wife was on Mirena for a while, no period, no cramps, no PMS.  Two thumbs up from me!

Hhmm I havent heard of this option. Perhaps I will look into it. Where abouts are you Occam? I know each province has different health care laws.
