The few of the few: A female Sergeant Major

What is it like to be a female Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps? Check out this week's episode of the Women of the Military podcast with retired Sergeant Major Robin Fortner. She served in the Marine Corps for thirty years, enlisting the summer before Desert Storm kicked off. We talked about how the experience of having Desert Storm happen at the beginning of her career shaped her future and the attitude of the Marines. We also covered what it was like to often be the only one in the room (either because of race or gender, or sometimes both).
