Dear Vision Forum:

I am a 27 year old woman who was in the Marine Corps for three years. I was so excited to see your articles about this growing trend of women in the armed forces. I orginally thought it was a noble thing to go serve my country in the military. Now, as a stay-at-home wife and mother, I am so glad to be done with that lifestyle. Women have no place in the military, especially the Marine Corps. We were struggling to be like our male co-workers and yet were not physically or mentally able to keep up. All femininity had to be placed on the back burner to accomplish the same goals. I am so thankful God took me out of the Marine Corps and now I can pass on my knowledge to my friends and my sisters.

Thanks, Jana L.
