Women in the Military
Panelists from the Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, and Army discuss service from a female perspective
ISK extends a huge Thank You to four outstanding female service members and veterans who served as panelists for a Female Veteran Round Table Discussion on Nov. 6!
Panelists included (from left to right in photo): Sydney Chapman (US Marine Corps), Christine Gibson (US Air Force), Michele Pascoe (US Navy), and Tammy Foster (US Army). The group is pictured here with Juan Gonzalez, ISK Veteran Navigator (US Air Force).
During the discussion, the women explored military service from a female perspective, covering:
- Their decision to join the military
- How their time in the military has shaped their current roles
- Challenges they faced when leaving the service
- Advice for anyone considering military service
- What they wish people understood about service members and veterans, particularly female veterans
Each panelist brought an item that held special meaning during their time in the military and spoke about its importance. Attendees learned about:
- Dog tags
- The US flag
- The USMC Eagle, Globe, and Anchor
- Memorial bracelets honoring fallen comrades
Thank you for your service!
