Description
Women of the Military is a place to share the stories of women veterans. It is through the power of telling our military story that people will begin to learn and understand about our service and inspire young women to consider military service. We cover topics about joining the military, leaving the military, the challenge of being a woman, military sexual trauma, and more.

Crystal joined the military when she realized she needed a change in her life. It led her to join the Air Force and begin a career. After a night of drinking a fellow airman helped her get into her room and raped her. She didn't report it and just moved on. Years later she took an assignment helping others who were survivors of military sexual trauma. This triggered a response including panic attacks and other neurological responses. Crystal bravely shared how this experience that she thought she had left in her past came back to cause challenges in her life. Resources:
