Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years women have struggled to break through barriers shaped by traditions and myths. Although the military has historically been a masculine institution, substantial changes in the Armed Forces in recent decades, such as the All-Volunteer Force in 1973, have brought about gender integration and increasing numbers of women serving in the military. This paper examines the advances female officers have made from approximately 1976 through 1996 in the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserves and active duty Air Force. The paper makes a serious attempt to determine whether or not women officers in the Air National Guard have the same promotion opportunities and leadership positions available to them as female officers in the Air Force Reserves and the active duty Air Force. While analyzing promotion and advancement opportunities of Air National Guard female officers, the paper compares these findings to female officers in both the active duty Air Force and Air Force Reserves. Several tables and graphs show statistics from 1976 through 1996 on female officer rank distribution, career fields, leadership positions, and corps growth. Findings show the Air National Guard has expanded its emphasis on female officers opportunities in all career fields, indicating major reversals from policies of two decades ago. The Air Force Reserve field grade and company grade officer female percentage rates were much greater than the active duty and Air National Guard, which were similar. In 1996, the Air Force Reserves had the highest female/male officer ratio, with the active duty second, and the Air National Guard last. The final chapter identifies common trends among the three services, trends specific to the Air National Guard which affect the female officer corps, and recommendations for future studies.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Book excerpt: “A raw, intimate look at the impact of combat and the healing power of friendship” (People): the lives of three women deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, and the effect of their military service on their personal lives and families—named a best book of the year by Publishers Weekly. “In the tradition of Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, Richard Rhodes, and other masters of literary journalism, Soldier Girls is utterly absorbing, gorgeously written, and unforgettable” (The Boston Globe). Helen Thorpe follows the lives of three women over twelve years on their paths to the military, overseas to combat, and back home…and then overseas again for two of them. These women, who are quite different in every way, become friends, and we watch their interaction and also what happens when they are separated. We see their families, their lovers, their spouses, their children. We see them work extremely hard, deal with the attentions of men on base and in war zones, and struggle to stay connected to their families back home. We see some of them drink too much, have affairs, and react to the deaths of fellow soldiers. And we see what happens to one of them when the truck she is driving hits an explosive in the road, blowing it up. She survives, but her life may never be the same again. Deeply reported, beautifully written, and powerfully moving, Soldier Girls is “a breakthrough work...What Thorpe accomplishes in Soldier Girls is something far greater than describing the experience of women in the military. The book is a solid chunk of American history...Thorpe triumphs” (The New York Times Book Review).
