How does a woman in the military put a stop to being called "sir" one too many times? And do the life-support systems in a fighter jet cater to both men and women's "plumbing?"

In Episode 2 - Don't Call Me Honey, our hosts discuss how they helped their male counterparts see things differently and become thought leaders in supporting both men and women in their squadrons. They also dive in on what it was like joining the first generations of women to fly in the US Military after the combat exclusion policy was lifted.

They cover why women have to adhere to tighter margins of error and failure in military flying and in general life, and how they leveraged this realization to lift others up around them.

As always, this discussion is all fire and no smoke, and a strict reminder to always be careful about adding terms of endearment for your coworkers, especially your flight instructor.
