Women have been a part of the military since 1775, where they served as nurses, cooks and took care of mending and washing uniforms. Some even joined under false names so that they could go to combat. Now, none of that is necessary, especially in the United States Air Force where more women serve than in any other branch.
Although times were hard in the past, and women are still overcoming roadblocks, that is not the case for every woman who has served. Chief Master Sgt. Fabrienne Burnett, Airman and Family Care Directorate Superintendent, recalls how amazing her leadership and wingmen have treated her throughout her career.

Chief Burnett is a small-town girl from Greenville, Alabama and joined the Air Force in 1996. Although it wasn’t her first choice, her cousin strongly insisted she consider the Air Force instead of the Army. (Courtesy Photo)
