I'm grateful that I served before all the sex integration bullshit. Basic training at Fort Knox: males only. We did have some females in AIT at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, but not in my MOS. Women weren't allowed to be artillery mechanics since they couldn't be in artillery units. I never had to serve in a unit with women since I was only ever in arty. I cannot imagine what levels of bullshit soldiers have to deal with now.
