That's ok,NEOCON- women in the military are used to it...;( The info below (Army), if read correctly, allows you to see just how the women in our country's military have been utilized, yet not recognized. The Navy has even fewer specialties open for women. That's why I left the Navy in '81, and joined the Army in '87.... The Air Force is moving along, though. 1.12 Overall policy for the female soldier a. The Army's assignment policy for female soldiers allows women to serve in any officer or enlisted specialty or position except in those specialties, positions, or units (battalion size or smaller) which are assigned a routine mission to engage in direct combat, or which collocate routinely with units assigned a direct combat mission. b. The DCPC system implements the Army policy for the coding of positions in organization documents and the related assignment of all soldiers to these positions. Once properly assigned, female soldiers are subject to the same utilization policies as their male counterparts. In event of hostilities, female soldiers will remain with their assigned units and continue to perform their assigned duties. c. Female soldiers will be provided full and equal opportunity to pursue careers in the military and will be assigned to all skills and positions according to the above policy. d. All commanders and heads of agencies will ensure compliance with the provisions of this regulation and that subordinate commanders and staff are aware of their responsibilities.
