This weekend the War Eagle Battalion had its semi-annual Field Training Exercises. This FTX the first platoon (freshmen) focused on armor. We were put into tank, bradley, and hmmvee simulators. The simulators were very real and they gave us a taste of what being on the battle field.
I was asked numerous times if I was in the nursing program. Obviously, I must assume this was because I am a female. Furthermore, at the end of the day we were informed that females cannot go into armor. That were are still not allowed in this division of the Army. I immediately thought of my paper and how relevant and infuriating my topic for this manifesto is to me.
