Military Says It Will Now Give Gay Troops Extra Time Off So They Can Travel To Same-Sex Marriage States To Get Hitched…
he U.S. Defense Department announced on Wednesday that it will make “spousal and family benefits” available no later than Sept. 3, 2013, regardless of sexual orientation, for all service members who can provide a valid marriage certificate.
And what about same-sex military couples who live in a state where same-sex marriage is not allowed? No problem.
“We recognize that same-sex military couples who are not stationed in a jurisdiction that permits same-sex marriage would have to travel to another jurisdiction to marry. That is why the department will implement policies to allow military personnel in such a relationship non-chargeable leave for the purpose of travelling to a jurisdiction where such a marriage may occur,” the DOD news release said.
“This will provide accelerated access to the full range of benefits offered to married military couples throughout the department, and help level the playing field between opposite-sex and same-sex couples seeking to be married.”

We knew it would come to this but I didn't think it would happen this fast.
USAF Senior Master Sergeant revealed of his position for objecting to gay marriage. In the military when you're revealed of your position, your career comes to a screeching halt.
