What's it like to be a woman in the military?

Question

I'm interested, but I would never be accepted by any military as I'm deaf in both ears! ;-)

I like the answers here. Very sensible.

Cheers.

Answer 1

Where i was based the women was treated the same as the men. They all follow the same rules and regulations and the guys treat them with respect as well.  

Answer 2

I joined the Air Force in 2003...it was the greatest decision I ever made!  After basic training and technical school I was sent to my base to perform my job.  I was always treated with respect.  I was never told I couldn't do something because I am a woman.  You can do anything you want, no one will put limitations on you except for you.

Answer 3

if you do the job you are trained for and don't play the 'im a woman' card then you will be respected for doing your job, just like the men in the military.

try slacking and you will be told, just the same as a man would.

join the forces, join the lifestyle.

best of luck  in your choice x

Answer 4

I'm not a woman...but while I was in they were treated as equals. Held to the same standards and treated the same..

Answer 5

Most times it was great, other times not so great.  You still have those alpha male types who still believe the military is no place for a woman, but not so much nowadays.  I loved it when I was in, but I know how to overlook a lot of bs.  

Answer 6

Fantastic you are constantly surrounded by fit gorgeous men. Just like Heaven !!
