7. When I was in the USAF

in the late 80s, I was the only female in a 15 man ATC facility. The facility just failed out two women, and in I walked. I was just a young woman and really had no clue on what crap was going to be throw at me. The scary part, I think it was better for us because men didn't see us as a threat yet. I survived and stuck in the USAF for 8 years.

Man, I hope this young woman makes it. It would be a smart national security issue to have women in spots that the enemy isn't aware they are hiding. I just hope her American red blood boys don't think it's about them. Time will tell.
