When I was in basic, one of the master corporals told me this and it stuck with me. She said that when you put on this uniform, you feel like you have something to prove.
I just want to tell all these women, like my fellow servicewomen and people who are thinking of or have joined up, that you have nothing to prove to anybody. You have this uniform and you're wearing it because you chose to. The only person you have to make happy in this uniform is yourself. You have nothing to prove to anybody.
