Ladies in Lines. In an army basic training camp at Kapooka in Australia, 46 women volunteer to join 31 Platoon.
They have to fight, march, and take abuse like men, and yet they are not supposed to swear, burp or flirt. To make the painful change from civilian to soldier, they suffer the relentless shouting of the corporals and the gruelling regime of forced marches, square bashing in heavy boots, weapons training, and exacting kit inspections. But not all of them last the course.
