It's a woman's life in the army
As is well known, there are Amazons in all of our services, bar the Marines. That's fine by me, as a woman only has to be as strong as the weakest man.
Anyway, the figures came as a bit of a surprise:
2007-2008 - All officers - female 17%, Other ranks - 8%.
Higher than I thought, but this disguises heavy variation elsewhere:
Naval officers - female - 16%, other ranks - 13%
Army officers - female - 19%, other ranks - 7%
Air force officers - female - 24%, other ranks - 20%
