20F been considering the AF or SF for awhile now. My main concern that has been holding me back from joining is safety as a young woman. Some women cite the military as the best experience they had, and others cite it was traumatic due to sexual assault or other unfortunate matters. Outside looking in, I cannot determine whether or not is sexual assault is as rampant in the military as it is in a normal college. Like, is it a guarantee that as a women you will experience harassment or assault in the military? I’d appreciate the help
