It shouldn’t piss me off but it does. How come when any patriotic or military memorializing event the people I know pay tribute only to the men they know in the military? I guess Im jealous for being left out. I just can’t help it.
Being a female in a job that is vastly men,( there are 4 females to 60+ male in my unit alone) in the military is tough. I didn’t have the luxury of my male counter parts accepting me as part of the team. Instead, bets were placed on who would have sex with me first. Bets were made n when I would get pregnant. I was called names that showed how immature my co-workers were.
It is a constant battle for me on a daily basis to show my worth. And it is still a battle to be recognized for the sacrifices I have made to be where I am today.
Working night shifts, free time lacking.. And I can’t be much support to any of my friends… Guess Im just fading into the background.
