1. Williams states in the beginning that she is “one of the 15 percent of the U.S. Army that is female.” What is one reason why she enlisted in the army?

One reason Williams enlisted in the army was because of one of her arrogant ex-boyfriends, Douglas. Douglas was trying to be marine at the time of their relationship and liked yelling at her because he thought it would be good practice in preparation for the army. He told her that she wouldn’t make it to the Army because she couldn’t handle being yelled at. Williams wanted to prove him wrong.
