I was in the USAF at the same time during the 1970's. We avoided getting assigned with woman at every turn because we knew we'd be left with the duties by ourselves as the women would go to sick call when even a bee farted on them. It was ridiculous. I did see one woman that held her own and worked but she was an exception. Most would play the I'm a poor weak little sickly woman card at every chance. There are exceptions but I didn't see many of them.

I had the same problem with women in the Air Force in the USAF, in a Civil Engineering Squadron, as the NCOIC of the structural shop.
