1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,362
a strong woman in the military . That's 

2
00:00:02,362 --> 00:00:03,560
funny . Um 

3
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:10,650
it's really a male dominated 

4
00:00:10,660 --> 00:00:12,660
career no matter what branch you're 

5
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:15,340
looking at . So getting to represent 

6
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:17,461
other females and , you know , show a 

7
00:00:17,461 --> 00:00:20,940
presence of confidence and confidence , 

8
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:23,240
I guess you could say um being in a 

9
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:25,400
leadership role as a woman as well . 

10
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:28,250
It's it's been awesome because it shows 

11
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:30,306
that , you know , our senior leaders 

12
00:00:30,306 --> 00:00:32,250
aren't looking at gender , they're 

13
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:34,139
looking at capability and I think 

14
00:00:34,139 --> 00:00:36,361
that's extremely important , especially 

15
00:00:36,361 --> 00:00:38,528
for younger girls , women , airmen who 

16
00:00:38,528 --> 00:00:40,583
can see , you know , there's another 

17
00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:42,694
female leader here , I can do that as 

18
00:00:42,694 --> 00:00:44,917
well , I can strive and I don't have to 

19
00:00:44,917 --> 00:00:47,028
put myself in a smaller box because I 

20
00:00:47,028 --> 00:00:49,139
don't think it's possible . I guess I 

21
00:00:49,139 --> 00:00:51,139
would just encourage everyone , you 

22
00:00:51,139 --> 00:00:53,361
know , especially females to strive for 

23
00:00:53,361 --> 00:00:55,250
what you wanna do . You know , if 

24
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:55,080
there's something you want to go for a 

25
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,191
position you want to be in , it's not 

26
00:00:57,191 --> 00:00:59,700
impossible , um and just use you as 

27
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:02,330
your authentic self to to push forward 

28
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:04,740
and in your journey as a airman , 

29
00:01:04,750 --> 00:01:06,417
eventually as a leader in the 

30
00:01:06,417 --> 00:01:09,070
organization and just do this , try to 

31
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:09,760
get where you want to go .
