At one  time I worked with two former Army nurses >>>
 
My chief in the Frankfurt/M Army Hospital was married to
an RN who had been the highest ranking nurse in the Pacific
Theater of W-2.  She outranked her husband (my chief of 
service), though he eventually achieved the bird colonel status.
 
She was an attractive woman, but became a hopeless alcoholic,
sadly, and a terrible embarrassment at times.  She was hosting
a group of European Military dermatologists (with her husband)
and slipped on a stairway while carrying a tray of "sext" (German
Champagne) flutes.  She was obviously drunk, and broke both
arms as well as cascaded the champagne over the assembled
dignitaries.  What a memory!  And what a sad ending for a
woman who pioneered the place of women in the Military.
