I earned my commission in the United States Navy in October 1999. A year later, I reported as a junior officer on the USS Arleigh Burke, a guided missile destroyer. I was one of four women, all officers, in a crew of over 300. My second ship was much the same: only five of us on an amphibious ship with over 1,000 crew. Women had not been stationed on combatant ships for long and those of us who were among the first found it difficult, particularly in an environment where we were so drastically outnumbered.

U.S. Army is confirming a murdered
Texas soldier soldier was sexually harassed and her superiors did nothing about it. The military released details of an investigation today saying Specialist
Vanessa Guillen informally reported the harassment by a superior at
Fort Hood but no action was taken.
The probe also found leaders failed to conduct adequate training or emphasis on sexual assault and harassment prevention protocols. The Army also says Guillen was not sexually assaulted. The investigation found Guillen s suspected murderer, Specialist
Aaron Robinson, was accused of sexually harassing someone else at Fort Hood. It s believed Robinson killed Guillen last April, then hid her body in a nearby river. He took his own life when Killeen police attempted to arrest him months later.
