Did you find it? It's an emoticon with roots in anime fandom. ;) It's supposed to signify tighly squeezed shut eyes with tears trailing down from them. A slightly newer version is ;.;
MWT, I did find it. Some sort of WOW reference on urban dictionary, which I never played.
Jim, my Smart Man has a "Veteran" plate, because that was all that was offered in the way of military-based plates when he bought his car. When he trades it in, he's planning on getting the "U.S. Army" plate. I was wondering if I could of gotten the "Veteran" plated personalized - with "RE-R1." Hehe.
There's a "Support the Troops" plate, as well, complete with a yellow ribbon. I'm sure that will just thrill Jim. Although you have to make a $25.00 donation to American Military Family (a non-profit) in order to get them.
Cindi, how about a "I tried to serve, but washed out" plate? That would cover admin seperations, dishonorable and general dischanges - the whole gamut. The symbol could be a little washing machine. Hehe.
I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

No brainer. "U.S. Navy"
I second Mr. Nathan's motion.
Me too... err three?
Navy, of course.
I also think the U.S. Navy is better. The "veteran" in any form has been ruined for me forever by guys standing by the side of the road begging.
Another vote for "Navy". And I sent you a message on Wateveresque.
Okay, Navy it is.
John, I got it and responded - thanks.
What? I'm too late to vote?
(not that I wasn't going to go with the prevailing opinion ;) )
MWT, you snooze, you lose.
T.T
MWT, I actually had to look that up on urban dictionary...
I like the Navy one too, even though my vote is too late to count.
After yesterday's rant, I *have* to vote. ;)
It focuses on your service - the other seems to be more focused on your discharge status. Odd message, IMHO.
Zzzzz...
What? There's a vote?
Navy.
There. That was easy.
Zzzzz...
You guys kill me.
The Navy plates are paid for and look snazzy on the Hot Jeep.
Excellent. We couldn't let you go the the Honorably Discharged one.
That looks too much like getting through a pass/fail course.
ouch, shit. Quit throwing stuff at me.

"Honorably Discharged Veteran" ??? WTF. "Retired" I can see, but the other? Do they have "Admin Sep?"
I'm with everybody else, go Navy.
Jim,
They don't have retired because it sounds like something for old people?
(duck)
(quack)

Can I just say, thanks for serving.
Merry Christmas,
Becca
Becca, you're welcome.
The Honorably Discharged Veteran plate always puzzled me too. Would anybody run a plate that said "Dishonorably Discharged Veteran"?
There's a "Support the Troops" plate, as well, complete with a yellow ribbon. I'm sure that will just thrill Jim. Although you have to make a $25.00 donation to American Military Family (a non-profit) in order to get them.

Heh. Good one.
