 Thank you so much for showing her story. I am in a similar situation. I am active duty Air Force, I am an F-16 Crew Chief and work long hard hours in rough conditions in a mostly male environment. I love my job and I love my service to the country I respect and admire BUT it is really hard to maintain a feminine self image. My two best friends are both female crewchiefs. When I first met them I was the only female crewchief in our squadron. I was delighted to have my sisters in arms take me in hand and help me re-discover my feminine self. To Chris and all my sisters out there remember, we are tough people doing a tough job for something we believe in but we can do all that AND STILL FEEL GIRLIE :D Thank you again Dr. Phil for showing me and everyone else that just because you get dirty at work and don't date a whole lot doesn't mean you're gay or a man hater. I love men that's part of the reason I chose my  job.

Chris,  I want to thank you for all the sacrifices you and your cohorts have made for our country.   My brother was a Naval Aviator (Marine....flew CH-53Ds (Sikorsky) known as “Sea Stallions” and AH1-J Cobrasm so I get it! 

  

             Now, about being a strong woman, intelligent woman.  My youngest daughter is 6 ft 1 in.  Extremely intelligent, brought up to be very independent,  speaks 4 languages and is brilliant with computers.  Was trying to get into Microsoft, when she met her, now, husband.   I was telling my son-in-law that I was so happy that she married a real man, cause it takes a 'real man' to deal with a strong woman.  He looked surprised and said this, "I don't want a wimp, for the mother of my children." 

  

Point being, there are strong men out there, who are smart enough to know that  a strong, intelligent mother is best for the children.  As Dr. Phil says, " you can't give what you don't have."  So take care of yourself, be yourself, be proud of your accomplishments, and the right man will show up.  Look at Dr. Phil and Robin.  What a great example!   Dr. Phil is strong, intelligent, independent and clearly has wanted the same in his wife.  Robin is NO wimp!  I loved what he said this week about not needing her.....but wanting her. 

  

Thanks again, Chris. 

Stay safe,   

Pat Walker
