In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I thought the main criteria for joining the military was to be deaf, blind and dumb..Oh wait, I meant patriotic, adventurous, and submissive.

Good on this guy. To all of the naysayers; the military is an extension of our democratic body. If you don't like what we as a country have allowed our military to do, then get out there and change it instead of trolling this poor guy.

[TheVesperExperience]

not only should he be allowed to join the military, but also he is quite the officer material. I feel if he is let in, he will go quite far in his military career

Many friends of mine on DeafMatching,com are so lovely and funny. I do not feel lonely any more. So I recommend this site for you. It is the most trusted and largest community for deaf, ASL and hearing-impaired. There people can find those who share their values and life experiences, look for friendship, relationship, love and more.
