Hey all... I am new to the community. Many of my friends are both pagan and in or associated with the military. I also have some experience with both paganism and the military community and thought I'd join and keep an eye out here, since the information would be both relevant to me and friends of mine.
All in all, I've noticed the military is fairly tolerant of paganism of all varieties. When I was in the Air Force, I even attended a weekly pagan study group while in basic training at Lackland. I find it surprising that the Army hasn't made this step yet, as friends of mine who went through basic in even the last 18 months tell me they were sort of lumped in with the Buddhists while in basic.
Also, not sure of everyone's location, but if you'd like to check out my community,
euro_americans please feel free. :)

ps ~ sorry for the blatant community plug, I'll delete it if it's inappropriate, but I also plan to advertise this in my personal journal, if that's fair enough! :)
