Female Soldiers from across 7th Infantry Division sweated, learned and bonded during a Sisters in Arms confidence course event on Lewis North, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., Sept. 19. The event was designed to create bonds and foster mentorship opportunities for female Soldiers, who make up approximately 15 percent of the Army population. “We’re doing a lot of obstacles, a lot of things to do with heights, which scares the heck out of me, but it’s fun,” said Pfc. Elyssa Broumas, a soldier with 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 2-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 7th ID, JBLM. “The first one we did I was terrified. I was shaking like crazy. I couldn’t even move, but my team motivated me. They kept me moving,” said Broumas. Ten teams consisting of over 50 female Soldiers, ranging from private to sergeant, participated in the Sisters in Arms event.
