Sexual harassment and rape are a real threat to women in the military. This was twice the rate of harassment reported by women in civilian jobs in a 1990 Harris Poll.

If you leave your work without permission, you can be arrested.

You can be punished without the right to see a lawyer or have a trial. Your right to say what you think when and how you want will be restricted. Individual expression through the way you dress and wear your hair won't be tolerated. You will be subject to routine urine tests for drugs.
