Pahl  \nWomen continue to struggle in order to integrate successfully into the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) . This study examined the cultural experiences of ten non-commissioned femaleidentified members serving in the ranks of Corporal to Sergeant in male-dominated, non-combat arms occupations. The volunteers were asked 28 questions in a confidential one-on-one setting, including 5 questions regarding the CAF’s Operation HONOUR initiative.  \nFour main themes emerged from the data: motivation, elemental differences, navigating gender, and the impressions of Operation HONOUR. Congruency of interests, skills, and experience strongly influenced job satisfaction. Five participants indicated that they would have selected a different occupation when enrolling in the organization. Despite instances of tokenism and harassing language and behaviours directed at the servicewomen throughout their careers, poor leadership in general and difficulties with overly competitive serving members had been the primary reasons for two members to consider exiting the CAF. Job satisfaction was linked primarily to the perception of being provided challenging, interesting, and fulfilling work. Direct or indirect support from superiors and peers also related to job satisfaction.  \nPostings and their associated environments of Army, Navy, or Air Force strongly influenced the women’s personal and professional experiences, with the Navy and Army being associated more closely with overall more misogynist treatment of women. The women navigated their gender in numerous ways, with most problems stemming from pregnancy and child care, and managing heavily physically demanding tasks. Male-to-male interactions were described as more physical and easygoing, cross-sex interactions were complex and varied but most often related to discrimination against females because of pregnancy and child care, and female-tofemale interactions were described as extremes of either camaraderie to counteract male peer interactions or highly competitive and counter-productive. Female superiors in particular were mostly described in a highly negative manner, compared to male superiors.  \nAll of the servicewomen were very familiar with the Operation HONOUR initiative. Nine interviewees believed that Operation HONOUR has made a positive difference, although five believed that it is has been implemented in too extreme a manner, and in some ways their daily functioning has been more difficult because of servicemen’s retaliation to the initiative.  \nRecommendations for Practice  \nThe final results of the study, combined with prior research, revealed limitations and produced recommendations for practice and future CAF research, in order to improve functioning and the experiences of Canada’s servicewomen in particular.  \nAdaptation to the Military  \nTransitioning from regular Canadian society to military life can be particularly challenging for younger and more easily influenced members. Eight participants had entered the Forces either immediately following high school, or shortly thereafter. At the time of the study interviews, all of the participants were trained in their occupations, five had served in more than one environment, three had served in more than one occupation, two had served in the Primary Reserve, and two were employed in specialty roles. Nine appeared to have mostly adapted to  \nthe military and, for those members who had changed their occupations, their decisions were not as a result of their environments but instead matched their interests and skillsets to occupations that inspired and motivated them.  \nMany of the participants had undergone a transition throughout their careers in which they described themselves as “naïve” when they had considered joining the Forces.
