If you are interested in removing barriers to service for women in the Air Force so they don't have to hear the same statements I heard as a young officer, please reach out to the Department of the Air Force Women's Initiatives Team.FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU men's tennis team garnered a preseason national ranking of No. We are seeing progress, but there is still more to do to ensure all members of the team are included. It has only been thirty years since women were legally allowed to fly combat aircraft. Airmen can still fly when they're pregnant and have more authority in how they choose to serve. women are no longer automatically disregarded as useless when they are pregnant. women and men feel comfortable showing off these patches that show how proud they are to be able to fly. During that deployment I kept getting asked "isn't it so hard to be away from your children since you're a Mom" and people always told me "kids really need their Mom." The men didn't hear the same things. The new assignment did not include a flying billet.ģ) In 2015, I deployed after having two children. The commander refused to have a pregnant female in his squadron and rejected my assignment he made our personnel system find me a new one. During that time I kept my head down and tried to fit in with the men so that they wouldn't think I was one of "those people."Ģ) In 2012, I was matched to an assignment at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, where I would fly fighter aircraft again after my non-flying assignment to Korea. Here are a few anecdotes to help you understand how far the United States Air Force has come regarding diversity and inclusion, especially with women and women who are pregnant.ġ) In 2007, I was told by squadron leadership that if any women in the squadron got pregnant, people would assume we were doing it to get out of a combat deployment.
#ALICE HARRISON TIM HOLT PATCH#
There's no way I would have felt comfortable wearing a patch like that a few years ago. In this picture, I'm wearing a "fly like a girl patch" that my friend Jessica Ruttenber had made. She was the highest-ranking woman in the F-15E community, and I was starstruck.
As a young officer, I remember seeing Lt Col "Tally" Leavitt (Now MG Leavitt) in our squadron.
