Camouflaged Women

Welcome to camouflaged women, a blog by a Female Veteran for all service women, whether you are currently serving or a veteran. I hope to make this place a relatable community, a place where we can belong with women who have been in our boots. I also will bring some light and focus on to Women’s health and the Veteran’s Administration so that in the future we may be able to get the best care, the care that all veteran’s deserve. Let’s make them take notice of us. Female service members and veterans matter too. Here’s to no longer being invisible, a woman in camouflage!
