    Hi Holly,
    Jenny Holbert here, served from 1978-2008. I saw a comment you made on Sara Sheldon’s book “The Few, The Proud, Women Marines in Harm’s Way”. I was the PA director in Iraq so for the first time in my life, was able to commit nepotism of sorts–got a friend into theatre because I was the approval authority. Some of the guys were pretty upset when they found out she was only interested in interviewing women Marines–and that was my point!
    I’m working on my experience in the Corps, and it will highlight gender discrimination, harassment and assault that we had to put up with, and still be magnificently successful. I’d like to read your memoir to hear your writing voice–where can I get a copy?
    Semper Fi, and Happy 250th Birthday!
    Jenny Holbert
