>> How To Meet New People And Make Friends -- Civilian or Military
Anyone who's looking for advice on where to go to meet new people need not look far.
Tons of websites, articles and chat rooms have advice on just about anything, which can be accessed without breaking a sweat. Whether you are in our Military or a civilian, the problems are just the same. Military online dating has the same problems...
Although these advices are quite informative and useful, the real essence of meeting new people is not on the "where". It's easy to find someplace where people get together: one could join an organization, enrol in a class or volunteer in the neighbourhood. But, when you're already in a group, what next? This is the not-so-easy part: how to meet new people once you get there.
Approaching someone and getting them to talk may not be that hard, but it definitely requires action on your part. Surely you can't expect people to come over and talk to you when you're just there, not doing anything. Keep in mind that you might not be the only person who's having a hard time trying to meet new people. If you are painfully shy, take the initiative to overcome the shyness. Self-help books and websites are always available to provide answers to your questions and possibly solutions to your problems. If the shyness becomes overwhelming, it would be best to consult a physician or therapist.
You may not know it, but you might be having a condition known as social anxiety disorder. Even if a person is shy, there's always a way to learn behaviours that can make one more outgoing. The first and most helpful step is finding the right location. Look for a place where other people will have at least one general interest similar to yours. Check out what's available in your area--you can enrol at the local college or volunteer for projects through local volunteer centers in your area. Military men and women have all the interests and hobbies that civilians do. Prepare a list of potential questions to ask someone even before you get to the location.
Avoid yes or no questions--open-ended ones allow the other person to say more than a one word answer to the conversation. Think of things that would make you both feel comfortable, because the other person could be shy, too. Take time to look around the room after you walk in the door. Don't panic when you're not talking to anybody yet. Try to get a feel for the group while looking at the people. Now, for the real task: approaching someone. look around for somebody who's alone--it's usually easier to approach a person on his/her own than in a group and chances are, that person may be just as shy as you! Do your best to make the person comfortable when engaging him/her in a conversation.
You can do either the direct or indirect approach. As the name implies, direct approach is well, direct. Muster whatever courage you have and walk up to the person and say hi. This is quite challenging yet often yield positive results. To make yourself less intimidating, stand next to the person instead of making a beeline for them. Or make eye contact first and smile--it is almost certain that the person will smile back, and give you the motivation you need to talk to them. But, if the mere idea of striking a conversation with someone makes you quiver, you can try the indirect approach.
For example, if you're in a classroom, inquire if the seat next to someone is already taken. Use the opportunity to introduce yourself as you sit down. Now that you're acquainted, you can mentally rehash your prepared questions. Be as engaging as you can be--keep the person talking and talk about yourself, too (not too much, though, or you'll end up looking like a show off). Do a friendship follow-up to know the person deeper. It could be coffee after class or a group study that can lead to a strong friendship, who knows?
>> Finally - Online Dating for Conservatives, Traditionalists and the Military
When the loving couple who were in the process of creating WUVING.com asked me for input in designing a Free Online Dating Site, I was pleased to hear them say, "This one is for people seeking longlasting love, even marriage!"
I knew that they were a couple who believed in traditional family values. And I also knew that there were tons of singles out there looking for just the kind of love-based relationship that they had found.
I knew it because I've heard the anguished stories of so many singles and divorced clients -- people who have tried to find someone online -- even on those much-advertised Matchmaking sites that promise much. They promise much, but deliver "working girls" and "activity buddies" -- you know who I mean.
WUVING.com can lead you to people who themselves are looking for something true and honest. This is a site for conservatives. Men and women seeking a traditional relationship where loyalty and strength of character actually mean something.

>> Dating Advice for the Modern Man - Military, Veteran or Civilian
I think that these days it is difficult to be a 'man.'
The past few decades have seen the erosion of many of our male stereotypes and women's expectations of us has changed markedly.
No longer are we the provider, the protector and the leader; now we have to be sensitive, emotional and able to cry when the X factor is on!
Seriously, finding the balance of what a woman wants in her modern man can be tricky; the only good advice I can give is to be careful. You see we don't have any of the role models that our fathers and grandfathers had; they were preceded by 'tough' men and that is what women expected of a man in those days.
The only role models we have to go on are those from films and television and they, gentlemen, are make-believe. In general, retain the manly traits of masculinity, emotional strength and courage, but don't be afraid to shed the odd tear when the moment is right.
Here are some basic tips on dating:
> 1. Always look your best. Don't be tempted to turn up in casual attire (unless you have planned a date walking in the hills). Put in some effort; wear 'proper' shoes (my ex-wife was the one who took me shopping for new shoes to help my dating exploits - she was right too), a smart shirt and trousers; women really appreciate it if you make the effort here.
> 2. Get your hygiene and styling sorted out. The combover is definitely out, as is any other method of denying your challenging lack of hair. The good news is that a lot of women like a clean-shaven head or extremely short hair and it cab make you look years younger! Sort yourself out with some quality deodorant, cologne, and/or aftershave but don't go overboard! Take a trick from the ladies; spray your best aftershave into the air in front of you and then walk into it - it gives the right balance. If you don't know what smells the ladies like, get yourself down to your local department store and ask the advice of one of the experts behind the counter.
> 3. Sort out your job. Women are rarely attracted to hippies, beach bums or drop-outs. They may even fall for your laid-back charms initially but they will always be checking whether or not you have the ability to be a provider, even if they don't need one.
> 4. Get your knowledge levels up. Keep up to date with current affairs by reading a newspaper and watching the news. Not only will you appear more intelligent, it will give you some subject matter to talk about! Women do not appreciate stupidity or laziness. Current affairs are important in showing you know all about the world outside. If you travel a lot then this will help tremendously, if you don't have plans to travel, get some. Being able and willing to sort out holidays is essential in the grand scheme of things.
> 5. Alcohol - it's the balance that counts (and of course on the particular drinking habits of the lady you are courting). Women are as suspicious of men who drink nothing at all as they are of someone who drinks too much. Certainly on a first date, don't let your nerves get the better of you and lull you into the need to get drunk!
> 6. If you love your sport then fine. If sport is a religion you may have a problem but everything is about maintaining a balance. Trust me, plenty women have vast amounts of experience of becoming second-sub to their partners adoration of sport so they are always on the lookout for this particular trait. If you are serious about dating then ramming the subject of soccer, rugby or F1 down your date's throat will put them off in record time. Sport to the uninitiated is completely boring and shows not only sheep mentality to a woman but lack of thought, creativity or inspiration. Millions of girls love sport too and that is fine but don't make your passion into a one-sided one.
> 7. Never expect sex on a first date. If all you are after is sex you have come to the wrong place for reading material. If you are looking for the girl of your dreams there is nothing more sexy than a patient man. You are easily capable of waiting for the right woman so do it instead of thinking with your love tackle.
> 8. Honesty - Once again, women are the masters of sniffing out dishonesty. You might get away with it for a short while, but very soon you will be discovered if you are heavy on the porkeys. Just be honest! Don't tell her what you think she wants to hear, just be honest and speak your mind, but don't forget to be polite and respectful too.
> 9. Sort out your educational knowledge of manners, courtesy and chivalry. A woman likes being treated well, particularly with respect. Lose the coarse language, the swear words, the rudeness and the laziness. Know how to eat in a classy restaurant, know about fashion and jewellery and in particular flowers. Know how to hold a door open for a woman, let her go first and help her with her seat. Listen to what she says but have opinions of your own too. Show her respect and manners at every step and you should not go wrong.
> 10. Start listening and stop talking. We are equipped with two ears and one mouth; use them in that ratio. Women love a listener. Keep your date interested but don't turn into a one man entertainer. She will bore of you quickly because she wants to talk about herself too. Listen to things she tells you about her and remember them. Women love to chat so you need to learn to listen to her. Remembering things she told you will impress her by the bucketful. Fact.
> 11. Give up smoking now.
> 12. Lean to dance even if you have two left flat feet. Women love to dance and dancing is a physical contact sport (or can be). It is also romantic and sexy. You can be the world's worst dancer, I don't care. But if you stay seated when she is on that dance floor you may as well not exist. If you can join Salsa and dancing classes all the better. You don't need to be Travolta but you should have an idea of the basics of rhythm. Get started today.
> 13. Flowers - This might be a bit over the top for a first date, depends how much you want to impress her, but she could find it a 'bit too much'. Certainly on any subsequent dates, flowers are a must!

>> More Than Just Federal Benefits for Our Military Veterans
Time flies and the toughness, strong eyesight and proficiency to grip a pistol have all been parts of the past. However, the bravery and the memories of being in a war will forever remain in their soul. Our veterans - what happens next after they have risked their lives?
Our country's veterans have been into different hells in fighting for a cause. Now that they have reached their lives' decisive point, are they are really cared of? Without the potency as well as the clear visibility and memory that has been robbed by their age, these once well-equipped and strong men and women are now watching the sunset silently in their chairs.
The government plays an important task in the wellness and safety of our veterans. Variety of benefit programs and laws has been made to protect their rights and support their primary needs. These benefits also cover the family and dependents of the veterans, of which changes from different states.
These benefits include education support, assistance on home loans, life insurance as well as regular compensation and social security and vocational rehabilitation. The benefits are not only restricted as long as the retired soldier is living, it still continues by rendering burial and funeral benefits, thus giving them a modest and well-merited last commemoration for their unparalleled service for their sworn duty.
In addition to the government, there are also several civilian groups and private organizations that offer membership programs and benefits to the United States' service men and women. All of these monetary related programs, free and with charge is something that our veterans can take advantage of because it's rendering them a chance to live a better life after the wars. However, that shouldn't stop us from providing them care and affection... each day.
Life can not be compared to an old pistol that when polished again can instantly regain its power to shot straightly. It's not also like time that will unceasingly move its hands after a 24-hour voyage. The life of these individuals, just like ours is a limited gift from GOD, only they have spent it in a world of blast and painful death rows.
Let us all be reminded of their unwavering service and the unconditional love of their family. They have been a part of our lives, in one way or another so it's always been a good thing to commend life with them not just every November 11 but each day and until their last days. Let them feel the precious treatment so they will not be waving their hands with a weary heart when it is time to say good bye.
>> The Military Tax Exemptions
A soldier can claim his/her exemption for his/herself, partner and every individual that's qualified as the member's dependent. On the other hand, if another individual, who is also a taxpayer claims an exemption for the military person or his/her spouse, the armed force member cannot claim an exemption on his/her tax return. And, if the soldier already claim an exemption for his/her dependent, the dependent can no longer obtain an exemption on his/her tax return.
If the armed forces member desires to obtain an exemption for his/her dependent, the service person must provide one the these requirements: (a) social security number (b) adoption taxpayer identification number (c) individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) for every dependent. Without any of these requirements, the claim for exemption may not be granted.
When any of these requirements has been presented, the service person can only get an exemption for his/her dependent when the five (5) tests are met . These five (5) tests include the following:
1. Citizen or resident test - a dependent must be an American citizen or a resident of Mexico or Canada.
2. Gross income test - the dependent must have a gross income of not more than $2800
3. Member of household or relationship test - the dependent must be related to the service person that does not live with them.
4. Joint Return Test - the dependent must have not filed any joint return.
5. Support Test - the dependent must receive more than half of his/her support from the military person during the year.
>> Military Oriented Blogs
The United States armed forces not only lead the world, they also govern the Internet in terms of numbers. Hundreds to thousands of blogs dedicated to military, written and maintained by service personnel themselves, prove their authority on the World Wide Web.
These military focused blogs often relate the experiences of a U.S troop member -- as well as the husbands and wives who are unwearyingly waiting for their partners. Other blogs are owned by parents who are liberally expressing their passions, while others are written by children who are yearning for the loving arms of their parents. For whoever keeps the blog - it all comes down to expressing their thoughts, emotions of sadness and happiness and silent pleas that are constantly shouting to the world.
Many military staff members tell their stories of daily living as well as frustrations to the US administration. While others proudly bare their names and positions, some are doing their stuff behind a pseudonym. These blogs are also filled with pictures with their families and the reality of living in a world of war.
On the other hand, parents, spouses and teens are all similar when it comes to talking about a loved one that has been sent to a war. The prayers of security and keeping them alive can constantly be read in their posts. For those who have lost, writing to their blogs is giving them relief and acceptance, thus opening another channel to say what they feel to a loved one who will never return.
To add more, there are also other online pages that support to the nation's veterans and active military. These pages are normally run by organizations and other individuals who desire to be included in the virtual community of brave and loving warriors.
Indeed, the fast rising community of soldier bloggers is not just dominated by the men in fatigues but also ordinary individuals who have something to say. Whatever their reasons for blogging, every person simply tells the reality of life and aspires for world peace.
>> The Veterans Dedicated Forums
The Internet is playing a significant role in communication. It connects the gap of distance and time of the people who have similar interests and principles towards the agency that manages the veteran's benefits as well as the present issues involving our government and the staff of our national defense. Such forums can be easily accessed through an Internet connection. Hence, providing everybody with a fair share of the argument including the enemies of the state.
Even though there are thousands of boards in the www that are readily available to listen to what its subscribers have to say, these forums are still well moderated. Most of the sites are maintained by particular military group like retired soldiers, National Guards and active duty military groups. Other groups comprise of ordinary people and family members of missing or deceased armed member. Such groups are moderators of the forums. Their primary job is to eradicate unrelated discussions and foul words -- and monitoring as well.
Apart from the benefits and other compensations, various sites also discuss the details of being in the American military, the government and politics, hobbies and other interests. There are also dedicated forums for images, movies and videos about wars and significant events in history as well as forums that are particularly created in memory of those service personnel who have been killed in various battles.
More than just conversation and private interaction with the true warriors of this nation, the sites also endeavor to pass on knowledge and awareness to its civilian members and co-military as well. It also helps confused member of the military and their loved ones about the benefits that they should have by conversing variety of related topics.
Certainly, forums like other sites are important elements that complete the www. Their role in our daily lives is to teach us and keep our eyes open with what is happening around us -- specifically for those people who are defending this country. Civilian members of these forums have interests in the welfare of our men and women in uniform. And these members are also known as supporters.
>> Support Groups for Our Troops
More than just the benefits, each individual who has decided to serve the military has immense love for his/her country. Together, their patriotic and unwavering service to their sworn duty is just equal to their biggest sacrifice - the chance to live peacefully with their loved ones and ultimately, their lives.
Aside from the financial support, our troops -- especially those who are assigned in war zones -- need more support and prayers. Not just our troops, their families and other people close to their hearts also need support and encouragement for having a member of the family in the battlefield.
There are actually hundreds of sites that provide support via the cyber space. Such sites and support groups are lead and composed of military personnel themselves and the members of their family. The main mission of these groups is to comfort and provide emotional support to needy individuals who are living in the risky world of the military.
The role of these websites is very important, as people from various walks of life are gathered to comfort and support each other. Most of these groups are also doing fund raising campaigns to generate money and support the family of deceased or missing military personnel. They also have programs, special gatherings and regular interaction that keep them intact and united.
In addition to monetary and emotional support, other non-government support groups are also rendering legal and medical support. The legal support groups aim to help the military with their legal needs including but not limited to Veteran Benefits Administration claims. The lawyers of these groups are specialized in military aspects and provide low-cost or PRO Bono service to the members of the United States troops. On the other hand, the health and medical support groups are providing significant assistance for the health assistance of the military and their family. Most of these groups also offer low-priced health insurance and free consultation service.
There are still thousands of ways to support our military. Their dedication is worthy of our help. We can choose which group to support, be included with or provide monetary support -- any way we can help -- with our sincere appreciation and prayers.
