I have 3 daughters and upon their first year and first semester of high school I was very firm that they had to take Army ROTC. After that they could take any of the many other electives offered.
Much to my surprise, each daughter went on and remained in the program until they were graduating seniors.

I believe that as a result of the discipline and self confidence that was instilled in them their paths to success have been made easier for them than might otherwise have happened.

1 daughter is a lesbian
1 daughter’s list of friends are predominantly gay/lesbian
1 daughter is a doctor and is very respected throughout her LGBTQ community.

Medically what commonalities do these 3 share? Other than their yearly checkups they don’t seek medical attention of any kind unless there are bones protruding through skin with blood….lol. Seriously, I think that their military experience toughened them to a point that they don’t sweat the little stuff.
I can assure you that my daughter would be very calm, very direct and would not tolerate any type of care that she deemed as being anything less than that which is offered to anyone else.

I hope that I didn’t ramble to much…if so, please do not hesitate to delete this entry.

I have never ever been close to any military stuff, but yet I achieved a PhD in Biomedical sciences, and have many patents. i don't think that any of your daughters got better academics or better people because of the military stuff you forced onto them. They are simply great women who are making their mark in the world. As a fellow woman I am very proud of these young women!
