Hi everyone! Please join us (Jeannette and Kate) as we have the privilege of talking with and learning from the amazing Sandra Fontaine, USNA 81 -- part of the second class with women and one of the first women to commission into the Marine Corps out of USNA. Please join and listen to Sandra's experiences at USNA and in the Corps -- about being in the second class with women at Navy, going through gender-segregated training in the Corps, facing discrimination, building tent cities, and traveling the world. Sandra, thank you so much for joining us! And thank you to the Alumni Association for your support of this work - and to the USNA Women's Glee Club for letting us use your voices to sing us in and out!
