It was tremendous. If you want an honest view of what it's like to be a female in the service - this is the book to read. The author doesn't pull any punches about her experiences which is refreshing. At the same time it raises alot of questions about what it is like to be a female in the military. In addition to navigating the male dominant hierarchy that is the military she has to deal with all of the sexual bullshit which includes rumors, innuendo's and outright lies from men that she thought were her friends. She was strong enough to deal with it, many women aren't. What happens to those women? That's the problem isn't it? How does a male dominated machine deal with sexual assault within it's own ranks? Usually not that well. They cover it up, keep it quiet or basically tell the women that it was probably their fault. Nice huh?
This subject makes my blood boil.
