I didn't think so. when I went through Basic training everyone wasn't sure which ethnicity I was. It was like a guessing game for them.

While working at the bases i didn't notice i was treated differently by anyone except when I went to Germany, all the german housekeeps at our base were all excited to meet me. felt like a celebrity... ayyeee

me? in iceland, they were thrilled when they found out what i was. maids at the barracks treated me great. that, and i let them borrow my jigsaw puzzles. :-)

i tended to get into trouble because i couldn't quit telling the guys when they were doing something wrong. no problem if they told me. but my last command just didn't like women who stood up.
