b'Retired Colonel Linda Aldrich discusses the challenges and rewards of breaking down the barriers to becoming one of the first women in the U.S. Air Force Missileer field.\\n\\nCORRECTION: Following this recording, Col. Aldrich requested the following clarification be noted: When speaking about the gender-specific crews, Col. Aldrich stated she was in the 373rd.\\nPer Col. Aldrich, \\u201cThat was an error (Titan Sq). Initially Nancy and I were in the 508 SMS, Sandy and Marcia were in the 509th, and Bev and Lydia were in ERCS 510th. I believe that would fall in the category of \\u201ccritical error\\u201d and \\u201cattention to detail would have avoided this error\\u201d as any good Missileer would say.\\u201d'
