Fighting For Home: Main Topics

These were the basic topics I identified as being meaningful divisions of the transcribed text. Though the interviews were not necessarily chronological in their nature, I rearranged the stories into a chronology for purposes of dramatic structure:

1. The Beginnings

2. Joining Up

3. Family connections/reactions

4. Boot Camp

5. Advanced training

6. Deployment/Career

7. Experiences

7a. Local Nationals

8-8a. Motherhood/relationships

9. Sexism/abuse

9a-b. Women strong/changing culture

10-10a. Getting out/getting help

11. Health Issues

12. Being a veteran/civilian world issues

13. Conclusions
