Richard Gere married Cindy Crawford in 1991, nine years after An Officer and a Gentleman made him a household name.

Mandy concludes the book with the story about student Emily and the best way for me to sum this up is with a Star Wars analogy when Darth Vader says to Obi-Wan, now I am the master and Mandy has come full circle, as a master pilot, through her incredible career and being a trailblazer to be in a position to offer encouragement, mentorship and guidance to the next generation following in her footsteps. I’m curious about her social life and how that’s been affected by being a person in a leadership position– if at all. From what I understand of the military, it’s important for those in leadership to keep an arm’s length distance from certain peers. Not due to elitism but because fundamentally, at the end of the day, the leader still needs to lead others, so they need to respect you. It’s all well and good being friends, but that can’t cloud how they see you in a professional light.Of particular interest to me what is the institutional growth that had to take place along with that of Mandy and her peers. In December 2020 Louis Gossett Jr contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalised in Georgia, but was discharged after three days to recover at home with his family.

Speaking at a film festival in 2012, Richard said: "Every once and awhile, I could be jet lagged somewhere all over the world and An Officer and a Gentleman is playing on MTV in the middle of the night and I’ll watch a scene or two.

I loved this book. From the opening when Mandy is fired upon by a SAM I was hooked and knew I would like this book. "Wellsey" did not disappoint and led me on several journeys: 1) the journey of a combat fighter pilot 2) the journey of a woman navigating the RAF and being a pilot and all the challenges, sexism, and misogyny that goes with this 3) the journey of a woman who reaches the crossroads and decision about career and or even vs family and what to do at this crossroads 4) the development of a leader and 5) the development of an expert who becomes mentor and teacher and someone who finds their passion and calling in life. An Officer, Not a Gentleman is a very easy to read, eye-opening & amusing biography and the writing style is very much as though Mandy is speaking to you, telling her story as obstacle after obstacle were put in her way & she trampled over them, never giving up on her dream. Time after time, she proved that women are just as good as men!This inspired me, it made me laugh and at times put a lump in my throat. I could resonate with much of her story and the elements that I could not resonate with, she described in such brilliant detail that I could really understand and empathise. But I haven’t watched the whole movie since we made it. I think there’s stuff in here that isn’t usually seen. Like stuff in the beginning in the Philippines and the beginning with my father. A lot of that stuff I don’t think is ever shown. So, this has been a very emotional experience." Being a female training in such a male dominated environment certainly had its challenges and the author makes light of the times she was singled out for her many failings or misdemeanours, instead focusing on the positives and carrying on, determined to reach her goal. From parade squares, kit inspections and crawling around in damp undergrowth to the dizzy heights of achieving her dreams this was an inspiring read.
