...also wanted to say congrats to Luna, and Corona, for being part of the best A-School class, and all the great times we all had with those damn hard tests!
No sweat. College degrees get you officer commissions. I have an AAS so I'll be going to basic as an EO3. After I'm done with my 2 years of training (after basic) I will be promoted to an EO5. An EO5 with college creds! w00t!
@TaskForceSixTwoSix sorry to bust your bubble, but I know 2 of the 3 girls in this film. They're both very strong, both physically, and academically. They pushed themselves through all the schools with flying colors. From what I've seen going through all the training, the women got treated exactly the same, if not pushed harder than the male members of the class. Your notion that they got the job easier because they're women is a complete myth. They earned their right to be there.
If you're referring to the position of an aircrewman then you are wrong. It is physically demanding, although not as demanding as some other MOSs or services.
@tdfisk cont. Just because you don't see it on the casualty lists doesn't mean that women haven't been doing their part on the ground, on ships and in the air, and they are doing a damned fine job. I do belong here. I defy you to tell me to my face that I don't. Better yet, tell that to the 2 Star I work for, and to the women who serve under me.
I watched the gradual integration of woman into many ratings during my time from 1973 to 1997. Didn't care for it, but learned to live with it. A shipmate is a shipmate, and many of them do their jobs better than the men. I'll have a beer with any man or woman that serves.
@froggymicwop Yes. It has to do with the anotomical differences between women and men. It's not sexist, the stress from the training would literally tear their muscles in half. Not kidding. ICU for like 6 months. Maybe longer. (I'm wrong about the times. I'm not a doctor.)
@tdfisk For one thing, no one earns metals. They earn MEDALS. And for another, most of us, including the fantastic men I have served with, don't do it for the awards. We do it to serve our country, as you did 50 years ago. Times have changed, but don't you dare insult US, who have given our lives, our limbs, our time away from our families in this last decade and beyond, by saying that we do not deserve the same opportunity to serve our country. I'm sorry that you don't like it.
Well like I said, thanks to affirmative action policies you can never tell if someone earned their spot these days. Which is why it's a horrible policy that should have no place in the U.S. military.
@colo250 You job description was cooking, cleaning, and sex. They didn't care to do it, and I can't say I blame them. I wouldn't desire a man who thought that's all I was good for, either. I personally do not think women in Combat Arms is a good idea for a variety of reasons. Don't see what that has to do with this video.
@tdfisk Sounds like you've never actually served in the military with women. The military these days would not operate without the women who serve, as officers, warrants, chiefs, and enlisted. Women do the same jobs as men in the majority of ratings available, from engineering to weapons to ship driving and flying. Think I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm a female Naval officer, warfare qualified, with 10 years in including 2 years enlisted. Women are here to stay, and they are needed.
Thanks to affirmative action policiies you can never tell if someone earned their spot these days. Who wants to bet that they got these jobs over more qualified male sailors? Shame.
I spent 4 years in the Navy back in 1965-69 & all this hype about females on ships & in fighting positions is really disturbing. I sure hope we don't get into an all-out war, if we do all those gals are going to cost us dearly. Call me old navy, call me an old fart, call me sexist, but there's no way the ladies are going to hold up if things get really hot. Women do not belong in a fight. All this politically correct crap isn't going to cut it in a real war. I don't like this new Navy. Thomas
Good on all three of those young ladies out there flying, and wearing their wings of gold...
I'm hoping to go into the USCG next summer. =]
You three women are awesome! I have the upmost respect for you I can't wait to join the US Military!

Respect to the fullest.
haha oooohh. You can be 17 and join? What are you planning to do in the CG?
Excellent!

I'm going to be a buckaroo in Nevada.
Dude, you can't really say that your enlisted if you haven't even gone through it....
can anyone help me with a question about joining.
Well you have to ask the question first.

@ProudofAmerica1 Absolutely! I did.

not in my opinion.
