RE: 5 Facts About Me - Expose Yourself (Guy Unplugged)!
It's nice getting to know you better and put a face with the name in the Isle :)
Also, now I know three things we have in common: Love of cats, love of words, and the ability to fire an assault rifle.
It was never gonna be the games thing ;)
I'm always surprised how many Americans tell me they too know how to fire an assault rifle, but I guess I shouldn't.
Also, pish-posh, is Free-Write not a form of game as well?
I was a Marine, but t be fair I fired plenty of weapons before and after that lol.
You know, you're actually the second woman I know who's been a marine. And yeah, you americans you! :)
I find it weird I find the notion of "marine women" still a tad surprising, while my combat medic course was made up of 50% women who served as combatants.
Female Marines are actually relatively rare. When I was in there were something like 165,000 active Marines and fewer than 10k were female. But oddly enough, my grandmother became a Marine during WWII when they first started really letting women in. So there you go lol.
I get the impression Israel is actually a little more forward thinking as pertains to women in the military, though perhaps that has been by necessity. And of course it gave us a Wonder Woman I can watch and think, "And she probably really can kick ass, not just on film!" So there's that :)
