Since then the New York native has been continuously working and boasts an acting resume that spans over five decades in TV, film and stage. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook – having the author read it makes it so much more personal & it’s not only a great story but also includes some excellent life lessons! I really loved “Emily’s story” – a moment when Mandy was able to inspire a teenager who also had a dream to fly This book also includes some incredible hysteria, some military hysteria and some just funny hijinks that I loved and at times I was laughing so hard I was crying. Although this book is mainly marketed at being female in a male dominated subsection of society, I’m happy to see Mandy’s own take on it. She doesn’t focus on it too much and just gets on with the job - She doesn’t really see gender even though is sometimes acutely reminded of it. Everyone responds to integrating in different ways, Mandy’s was to ‘try and be one of the lads’ which is completely valid.Born in Saudi Arabia due to her American oil exec father and brought up in France as a child, Lisa Eilbacher is not the only actor in the family; her sister Cindy acted in My Mother The Car and her brother Bobby is famous for his role as Mike Horton on US soap opera, Days of Our Lives. Mandy concludes the book with the story about student Emily and the best way for me to sum this up is with a Star Wars analogy when Darth Vader says to Obi-Wan, now I am the master and Mandy has come full circle, as a master pilot, through her incredible career and being a trailblazer to be in a position to offer encouragement, mentorship and guidance to the next generation following in her footsteps. I loved this book. From the opening when Mandy is fired upon by a SAM I was hooked and knew I would like this book. "Wellsey" did not disappoint and led me on several journeys: 1) the journey of a combat fighter pilot 2) the journey of a woman navigating the RAF and being a pilot and all the challenges, sexism, and misogyny that goes with this 3) the journey of a woman who reaches the crossroads and decision about career and or even vs family and what to do at this crossroads 4) the development of a leader and 5) the development of an expert who becomes mentor and teacher and someone who finds their passion and calling in life. Robert Loggia was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2010 and died at home in Brentwood, Los Angeles on December 4, 2015 at the age of 85.

Following on from the success of An Officer and a Gentleman when she was just 27-years-old , Debra starred in Terms of Endearment (1983) and Shadowlands (1993) - both performances earning her Oscar nominations for Best Actress. If anybody wants to know how to overcome their own limiting beliefs and how to respond to the challenges in life that are outside of your control, of which there are many, you should start off by reading Mandy's story.This inspired me, it made me laugh and at times put a lump in my throat. I could resonate with much of her story and the elements that I could not resonate with, she described in such brilliant detail that I could really understand and empathise. Of particular interest to me what is the institutional growth that had to take place along with that of Mandy and her peers. That, in the circumstances, these acts or omissions constituted conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman. [5] It’s an easy read. Enjoyable at times but from a personal point a bit annoying also. I’m ex army and for me it just reinforces the divide between the forces when it comes down to the hard life the raf have of having to go to Vegas and partying all the time. Rubbing shoulders with the Saudi royal family one night and just popping over the yacht the next day on a flight. Then say how tough life is sat in “slipper city”. It’s a bit insulting but that’s the choice of profession.

Staten Island native Salvatore "Robert" Loggia was born in 1930 and had a long career spanning over six decades. What I understand from the military is a really small sample size. Aka my aforementioned BFF (Airforce; US) and my dad (Army; Singapore - during the time the British were still training their colonies). You’d think different countries have different rules but I guess some things are universal. There were moments that made me want to scream (mostly when she was judged as “a woman” not for her ability), and times that really warmed my heart (such as the evening when her team rallied round to help her grasp the finer points of formation flying). Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman (or conduct unbecoming for short) is an offense that is subject to court martial in the armed forces of some nations. Louis Gossett Jr became an overnight star when his role as Sgt. Emil Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1982 (pictured).
