Hello MFP world,

I am hoping that I am not the only vegan person in the military on this site... anyone else? Please friend me :) I would love to chat/ get some tips.

Perhaps, if you don't want to friend me, you may want to join the group Happy Herbivores (I have found the members to be extremely helpful in my vegan transition!)

    Not quite a vegan, but still remember the day I opened my ration box to discover my ex-boss thought it was funny to take out all the goodies (most of which I couldn't eat) and fill it with grass. Thankfully I always carried my own stash of food anyway!

    Sorry to bump an older thread but I was doing a search on military.

    I'm in the Guard and a vegetarian. I went through Basic and AIT as a vegetarian too. And a "real" one (there were a few chicken and fish eating "vegetarians).

    What's your MOS and how was going through training as a vegan? I gotta say, I found it quite easy as a vegetarian and loved being able to prove wrong all the people that felt they needed animal protein to exceed. I even managed to max my AFTP at the end of AIT.
