Despite being wounded, she fought the enemy and saved the lives of her crew and their patients. But soon she would face a new battle: to give women who serve on the front lines the credit they deserve... After being commissioned into the U.S. Air Force, MJ Hegar was selected for pilot training by the Air National Guard, finished at the top of her class, then served three tours in Afghanistan, flying combat search- and-rescue missions, culminating in a harrowing rescue attempt that would earn MJ the Purple Heart as well as the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device. But it was on American soil that Hegar would embark on her greatest challenge -- to eliminate the military's Ground Combat Exclusion Policy, which kept female armed service members from officially serving in combat roles despite their long -standing record of doing so with honor. In Shoot Like a Girl, MJ takes the reader on a dramatic journey through her military career: a true story of a brave, high- spirited, and unforgettable woman who has spent much of her life ready to sacrifice everything for her country, her fellow man, and her sense of justice."--Page 4 of cover 600 10 Hegar, Mary Jennings 600 17 Hegar, Mary Jennings.|2fast 610 10 United States.|bAir Force|xWomen|vBiography 610 10 United States.|bAir Force|xWomen|xCrimes against 610 10 United States.|bAir Force|xSearch and rescue operations |zAfghanistan 610 17 United States.|bAir Force.|2fast 648 7 Since 2000|2fast 650 0 Afghan War, 2001-|vPersonal narratives 650 0 Afghan War, 2001-|xSearch and rescue operations|zUnited States 650 7 Kriget i Afghanistan 2001-|2sao 650 7 Sexuella trakasserier|2sao 650 7 Militära helikoptrar|2sao 650 7 Militärer|2sao 650 7 Kvinnoförtryck|2sao 650 7 Könsdiskriminering|2sao 650 7 Eftersökning och räddning|2sao 650 7 Piloter|2sao 650 7 Väpnade styrkor|2sao 650 7 Militärer|xhistoria|2sao 650 7 Armed Forces.|2fast 650 7 Helicopter pilots.|2fast 650 7 Search and rescue operations.|2fast 650 7 Sex discrimination against women.|2fast 650 7 Sexual harassment in the military.|2fast 650 7 Armed Forces|xSearch and rescue operations.|2fast 650 7 Armed Forces|xWomen.|2fast 651 0 United States|xAir National Guard|vBiography 651 7 Afghanistan|2sao 651 7 Förenta staterna|2sao 651 7 Afghanistan.|2fast 651 7 United States.|2fast 655 7 Självbiografier|2saogf 655 7 Biografier|2saogf 655 7 Personliga berättelser|2saogf 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast 655 7 Biographies.|2fast 655 7 History.|2fast 655 7 Personal narratives.|2fast
