The same things men do. Except if a woman is a nurse in the military, then she takes care of the wounded soldiers, but a man can be a nurse/doctor, too.

I'm a veteran but not a combat veteran. Women are allowed to do most jobs in the military. Except combat arms, IE infantry, special forces and serve on Submarines. There are obvious reasons for certain restrictions. For instance women are not allowed on submarines because most subs are underwater between 3 to 6 months and are not equipped to handle babies nor for security reasons will they surface to get a pregnant woman off the ship. As for the ban for the infantry MOS's. Women have different biological structures and cycles that make them more prone to certain injuries such as broken bones and heat strokes. The Isreali Army, a leader in letting women in combat, have removed women from the front line jobs because of these and other issues.

Women can take any job in the military except combat jobs...which include special forces. There are some women that have had exception and have done things that women are not supposed to do. I knew a Sgt. a long time ago in the Marines that was cleared to drive an LAV, which is not normally allowed for females. Even though they can't take direct combat jobs, they are always expected to be a basic rifleman if needed. (Well, that's the way it is in the USMC anyway.)

Same thing as the men. Women just cant go into Combat and Spec Ops sort of jobs....

Its kinda stupid though cause there are ways around it. Like for instance women cant become infantry but if you become and MP you are going to be getting into the same stuff as infantry.

Alot of things. But I believe they do not belong there necessarily. Being a nurse and of similar professions is suitable. The nature of women I think is more appropriate for being creative and also to give birth. By nature killing and being a soldier when there is war is not exactly something for womens general nature!

Everything EXCEPT direct combat roles, they can fly helicopters, but can't do special forces. they can work in intelligence, but cant be an infantryman (infantry-person?). They can be a military policeman (policeperson?) but they cant be a Ranger.

They do whatever job they picked. If she picks a job working with computers, she'll be working on computers, simple as that.
