From the latest edition of AF Times:
Transition help goes exotic
Fulfilling a government promise to support separating service members in acquiring a civilian skill, the British military has paid for a 23-year-old woman to become an exotic dancer.
The woman was somewhat surprised when her request for transition training was approved, but a Ministry of Defence spokesman told the British newspaper the Mail that money is provided as long as the training leads to gainful and legal employment — and exotic dancing meets both requirements.
After receiving her $3,900 in training, the former service member is dancing under the name of Kitty at a club called For Your Eyes Only in London’s Mayfair district.
