To other women aspiring to a military career, Cadoria stated in Brian banker’s, I Dream a World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America, “A woman today has to do more than her male counterpart. Come in knowing that you’re going to have to give two hundred percent effort to get one hundred percent credit.
