Well here I am I think. I have tried several times to throw something up here but I have yet to see them. I am hoping to possibly add a male perspective on the subject at hand. I was virtually on the inside tract in the beginning when the ladies first showed up on the grounds of Cape May. I began my journey on January 7, 1974 in "Romeo 89" with BMC John Miller. I graduated on March 15th and was assigned to permanent party, Forming Company. Two weeks into recruit training, the first females showed up, our sister company, literally. At first we were told to not even look t them. Not to much later, those of us that didn't smoke, learned how real quick so we could go out on smoke breaks together. Some us developed short lived relationships. I spent my graduation weekend in Cape May with a lady from that company who were on there first weekend liberty instead of going home on leave. I missed my mother's birthday and still here about that to this day. It was after being assigned to Forming Company that I would drive the big, grey Checker limo, picking new arrivals up from the bus station, ferry, and the airport. To begin with, ladies were formed up into thier own companies, but things changed and went co-ed. I played in Cape May for two years before going to ASM "A" School and spent the rest of career in the air.
