Women of the Military

Being a Woman in the Military

Episode Summary

Another important topic to cover when talking about joining the military is what being a woman in the military is like. And while this is a topic I wish I could ignore and not talk about. It is vital that we talk about some of the challenges women can face while serving just because of their gender. The military is working to make things better for women and unlike in the past there are more women who serve and also women who have moved higher up in rank. But the truth is women haven't been able to serve for very long compared to the history of the military so while a lot of positive things have happened there is still a long way to go.
