They do indeed. A TIME investigation shows that women don't have to wait until they are under a sergeant's command to experience sexual harassment from men in uniform. They can just walk into one of the recruiting stations along Main Street or in shopping malls across America expressly designed to persuade youngsters to "be all that you can be." According to Army records obtained by TIME under the Freedom of Information Act, sexually predatory recruiters are a national problem. Though the reports had all names and locations blacked out, their dates show a dramatic rise in sexual-harassment...
...recruits, the Army has until now failed to enforce that ban with the intensity it has shown in denouncing the abuse at Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground. Last week a military jury there began deliberating whether to convict Sergeant Delmar Simpson of raping six female trainees under his command 19 times.

"She depends on her friends for rides; she works because she needs the money. I wanted her to be more reflective of the girls I grew up with. Nancy Drew never made a wrong assumption in her life...
...friends said to me, "If any grandmothers come on the bus, get up right away and give them your seat. Or else, they'll hit you with their purse. They hit really hard, too!" I remember thinking how strange it was that elderly women command such strength and have such a strong image. Then I think about "A Week Like Any Other," and it all makes sense to me. Anyone who has had to endure such a back-breaking schedule would naturally either crack under the pressure or become incredibly strong...
