Before the release of the blockbuster Captain Marvel, the Air Force launched a recruitment campaign that centered around the story of Carol Danvers, an aspiring fighter pilot and ace in the Air Force Academy. After graduating from the Academy, Carol quickly moves to the world of test flights. A flight test incident leaves her with extraordinary powers. But how did she achieve this feat? Despite having a limited amount of training, Carol has the potential to fly a top-notch F-15 Eagle.
The first film to portray Captain Marvel as an admiral of the USAF had a rocky start, but it quickly gained widespread praise as a feminist movie and a love letter to women empowerment. But the film’s success has been tempered by criticism that it fails to represent the culture of the US Air Force, which is denialist, unsympathetic, and dedicated to protecting its top brass. Captain Marvel, however, avoids this type of culture and focuses on the women who work in the service.
While the Air Force has long attempted to attract more women, its recruitment efforts haven’t led to a dramatic increase in female applicants. Although it hasn’t achieved its goal of achieving a majority female applicant base, it is committed to attracting more female applicants and boosting the diversity of its workforce. Despite the lack of results, the film’s impact has only served to increase the number of women considering the Air Force.
