It made you what you are today: OK, it may have been namby pamby girly tough, but you started out as a bunch of wet behind the ears civvies, or "I'm a Cpl , JT with attitude" and you came out of it balanced, like all aircrew.
Close, but no cigar. To put the record straight... As an SAC Super-Duper Airborne Trooper without even the tiniest superiority complex
I went through a "namby pamby girly tough" course and came out of it still somewhat unbalanced...
