The Invisible War
[patriotic music]
- Today, the latest weapons,
Coupled with the fighting skill
of the american soldier,
Stand ready on the alert
all over the world
To defend this country,
You, the american people,
against aggression.
This is the big picture.
Now, to show you part
of the big picture,
Here is sergeant stuart queen.

Is no longer limited
to men.

On meticulous grooming
and feminine grace
Is one of the first lessons
learned by the recruit.
- There were demands
Perfect physical health
and stamina.
- Cadence count.
All:
One, two, three, four.One, two-

- I'm sure you've all heard
the saying,
"there's a right way,
a wrong way, and the army way."

- It's a lot of work,
the movies of the military,
And I just knew
that was me.
That's what I wanted to do.
It's what I wanted to be.
There was a-a waiting list
for the navy, over a year.
And I knew I didn't
wanna wait that long,
So, um, I had a friend
tell me about the coast guard.
And I went to the coast guard
and they said
That they could get me in
within a month, so-
I said, "okay, ship me off."
I had a good job at a vineyard
in east texas.
I had bought my own
little house.
And the military was something
I come from
a military family.
it's every citizen's duty
To join the military.
If you can, you should.
And so I wanted
to go ahead and join,
And start a career.
- I joined the air force.
I was 17 years old.
I had a boyfriend
that encouraged me to go in.
So that's what I did.
My mom signed,
gave me permission to go.
- When I was in high school,
I was impressed
With the marines
that I had met.
There used to be
a lieutenant colonel
That used to run laps around
the track
After soccer practice.
And he said, "you'd be
perfect for the marine corps,
"'cause you're really fit
and smart.
And that's what
The professionalism,
the camaraderie,
Everything about it
inspired me.
- After I graduated
high school,
I left for orlando, florida,
which was
The first time I was ever
on an airplane in my life.
[chuckles]
Initially it was just
wanting to go see the world,
'cause I'm from
I had a college scholarship
to go play basketball,
into the military.
You know, it's what
I chose to do.
- I come from a long line
of military lineage.
