content: I checked this book out of my library because I was curious to hear another woman's take on the US Army. I served for 7 1/2 years between 1977 and 1985 as a radio repairer mostly in the former West Germany during the Cold War. I left the Army to stay home with my babies.I found the substance of Ms Williams book to consist mostly of whining drivel. In the Signal Corps we consider Military Intelligence to be an oxymoron and in Ms Williams case that appears to be true. Don't let her fool you. Her experiences do not hold true for the whole Army. During my service I met very few men that I had problems with. Any high school student will tell you that if you are different life will be difficult.In the Army, if you are not with the program, you are against it. The one thing I remember about the Army is teamwork. All need to work together to successfully accomplish the mission. I saw no evidence that Ms Williams even cared about the mission.
