Episode 31 - Libby Boggs Schott, Julie Wood Nelson, Sharon DeCrane Bull, Stephanie Southard Dullea (F1)

The F-1 women were an elite military unit, they always had each other's back and were always standout performers. Not surprisingly, they remain life-long best friends to this day. We chronicle their journey and call attention to the fact that it was a great challenge to be West Point's 11th class with women. We talk about awkwardly tolerating sexist behavior to fit in as "one of the guys"; passing out at a blood drive; grabbing the Mic to announce "Donuts are In"; navigating the physical barriers of barracks set up as divisions, balancing careers with spouses, and being faced with the challenges of breast cancer.  Whether serving a career as an Army Officer (Libby), DoD civilian contractor (Julie), FBI Agent (Sharon), community volunteer and board member (Stephanie) - the F-1 women continue to set the example of selfless service to the nation. Duty Shall be Done.
