A little history..

Here are just a few interesting highlights and facts about women in the military.

Starting from the late 1700's women normally just served as nurses and cooks in the military. Then finally in 1948, the Women's Armed Services Integration Act granted women to officially be in the regular and reserved forces of all.

The first African American woman was enlisted in the Marines.

& in 2008, the first time in US military history, a woman was announces to the
rank of four-star general. She was in the US Army.

These are just some of very many facts about the woman in the forces. (-:

Women In The Armed Forces.

The topic I chose to blog about is the women in the armed forces, and that includes each force...Army, Marines, Air Force, etc. This topic interest me because I am seriously considering joining the Air Force within the next year or so. Other reasons for picking the topic is because my mother was in the Army for about seven years in her younger days and she always has had positive things to say about it, also her friend who was in the Marines...they each said it changed their lives and made them the women who they are today. Women in the forces somehow inspire me and make me want to be apart of that movement. I hope you all reading somehow can connect and enjoy continuing to reading the rest of my blogs about this topic.
