That's a good question. Thank you.
I would say that I had to prove I was reliable as part of the men's group. From the beginning, I pushed myself to the limits. I was told I was part of the club, but for sure, in some portion of my career when I was going up the ranks and changing positions, it was always that I had to prove myself again and make sure everybody had my back instead of stabbing me in the back.
It was not an easy journey, and it's something that I think every woman who is in the service is experiencing.
