GI Jane
The term 'GI Jane' was almost non-existant before the making of the 1997 Demi Moore starred film of the same title - even though there has been ample presence of women in the US military since WWII. As the title suggests, the film is a story of a lady getting enrolled into the US military. In a nutshell the story goes like this:
When a crusading chairperson of the military budget committee pressures the would be Navy secretary to begin full gender integration of the service, he offers the chance for a test case for a female trainee in the elite Navy SEALS commando force. Lt. Jordan O'Niel (Demi Moore) is given the assignment, but no one expects her to succeed in an inhumanly punishing regime that has a standard 60% dropout rate for men. However, O'Niel is determined to prove everyone wrong.
According to a recent CNN report entitled 'New memorial honors women's role in U.S. military', there are more than 300,000 women in uniform today.
The two letters G and I used with the word Jane (which is similar to 'woman' in meaning) has nothing to do with Gi which is a unit of magnetomotive force equal to 0.7958 ampere-turns.
