Brief History

Most people that serve in the military are men. Before women were allowed to join forces into the military they were disguising themselves as men. In WW1 and WW2 women served in  war as nurses, photo analysis, sheet metal workers, mechanical workers, and some were used to test pilots for fighter planes. In 1979 qualifications became the same for men and women. But women were prohibited from being able to go into combat and as of 1994 the department of defense officially banned women from serving in combat. Finally in 2016 women had the equal right to choose any military occupational specialty.
