61. Military Women - The Military Service Academies women Veterans a history of women in the military from the RevolutionaryWar to present day. Information about sexual harassment http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb/academies.html

The Military Service Academies It literally took an act of Congress to open the United States Military Academies to women. In 1975, then President Ford, signed Public Law 94-106 requiring the services to open the hallowed halls of West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy to women. In the fall of 1976 female cadets began their education and military orientation as the "Class of '80" became the first coed class. When those first classes graduated in 1980 of the 327 women who began, 217 graduated - a whopping 66%. The transition wasn't easy, and the lingering male chauvinist attitude didn't help matters but for the most part women cadets succeeded in ignoring the micro-minded while acing the academics. Academic failure was twice as high for the men. Women met challenges, and showed they were capable of handling the rigorous physical and military courses. Respect for the abilities of women slowly emerged within the academies and surprisingly the hallowed halls remained in tact and were not painted pink or adorned with Martha Stewart decor. In 1989, Kristin M. Baker, Class of 1990, was the first female cadet named Brigade Commander and the first woman to command the West Point Corps of Cadets.

The Country Of Our Dreams Let it be true that we shall find The country of our dreams; And walk the moorlans overtwuned, And Drink from crystal streams The barque that we have set adrift Is nearly out of sight; But may our days be not so swift To savour as we might. Alone we dwell, just you and I, And lie upon the heath; Our drooping lids succumb to sky, And this we sleep beneath. The meadow and the hill we claim, The forest and the beach; The country of our dreams became A land within our reach. by: Terri Russell I recieved this today, by surprise for sure.

WAC's arriving at Normandy 1944 While Hitler was skulking around Europe pretending to save Germany the erstwhile military minds in Washington were stonewalling womens organizations, patriotic pressures, and anyone who had the temerity to suggest that women should be in the military. The politicians, in typical gerrymandering fashion, made flimsy promises of considering an auxiliary of sorts while quietly hoping it would all go away and secretly trying to figure out how to stop it. Fortunately Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers and Eleanor Roosevelt thought otherwise. Congresswoman Rogers introduced a bill on May 28 th, 1941, to establish a Women's Army Auxiliary Corps for service with the Army of the United States. By virtue of its being an auxiliary corps there was no hint of full military status for women. The bill was dissected, bisected, stalled, lost, amended, sandbagged, and all but trashed until General George C. Marshall took an interest. While several government departments cooperated, the Bureau of the Budget continued to stall in spite of pressure from Mrs. Roosevelt, General Marshall and other interested parties and groups. By late November of 1941 there was still no definitive action. At this point General Marshall literally ordered the War Department to create a womens corps. An incident in the Pacific reinforced this order. Query due to the Pearl Harbor movie: Were military women at Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941?

Women's Internet Information Network presents: American Women Spies The gathering of information about one's enemy has been around since prehistoric times. From clan head to marauding conqueror, leaders needed to know the strengths and weaknesses of their enemies. Through the ages spying developed into an art form and no one was better at it than women. In the early days of the Revolution many Philadelphia women passed key information along to General Washington at Valley Forge. Lydia Barrington Darragh spied on the British and informed American officers. She made several trips from the city to Washington's headquarters, one in which she concealed an American uniform from the British. All up and down the east coast women spied for the cause. Ann Trotter Bailey carried messages across enemy territory in 1774. Sarah Bradlee Fulton ,sometimes called the "mother of the Boston Tea Party," delivered dispatches through enemy lines. Emily Geiger rode 50 miles through British and Tory enemy territory to deliver a message to General Sumter. During the Civil War Belle Boyd spied for the Confederacy by carrying important letters and papers across enemy lines. She was imprisoned in a Union prison for her espionage activities. Ironically, before the war ended, Belle Boyd married a Captain Harding, a Union naval officer.

77. Andersja's Blog: Women In The Norwegian Military Forces It seems to be common belief that if a Norwegian girl is unmarried at the age of 30, she's obliged to enroll for military service. http://www.jacobsen.no/anders/blog/archives/2002/08/12/women_in_the_norwegian_mi

andersja's blog ... because the Internet changes your life! Main August 12, 2002 Women in the Norwegian Military Forces Over the weekend I heard something really amusing. It seems to be common belief - at least in some circles (of girls) - that if a Norwegian girl is unmarried at the age of 30, she's obliged to enroll for military service. To me, it sounded more like some hen party joke that had developed into an urban legend, but to be sure (and not to offend too much) I promised to research it. I found no info online. What I did find, however, was a reverse, conclusive statement: Norske kvinner er ikke pålagt alminnelig verneplikt. På frivillig basis kan kvinner søke opptak på Forsvarets skoler, søke om å få gjennomføre førstegangstjeneste med muligheter for befalsutdanning under denne, og søke om verving. Norwegian women are not subject to compulsory military service, but may apply for voluntary service.
