If you can accept a lie...just so she can fit in a man's world, then I'd say you're not concerned with "character".
And soldiers and military life...It's all about "character".
P.S. I'm a woman in an almost exclusive male profession....and I didn't lie to get where I am.
Way to go on getting where you are today, I am sure it was alot of hard work to get where you are....
You are so right about “Character” in the Military life
