To All Feminist Veterans, & U.S. Military Enlisted:

Great news! :-) Besides, since I wore almost identical uniforms to the male sailors, I might as well be "transgendered" myself anyhow. Upon joining the U.S. Navy, I was actually 88 pounds, aged 17, so I probably looked more like a 10 year-old boy. I had to wait a year for my co-ed boot camp, after being put into the Delayed Entry Program at 16, until I graduated high school, but, unfortunately did not really grow that much over the course of a year.

When I was stationed in Pearl Harbor, the movie "G.I. Jane" came out, and now women are training to become U.S. Army Rangers. It's amazing to me, and I am so proud of all the important, feminist U.S. Supreme Court's Chief Justices that allowed me to serve in a co-ed Navy. I was one of the fewest and first women accepted into a tight-knit, Admiral's submarine staff command.
