This article reflects on the findings from a research framed in the field of higher education and gender. It addresses the incorporation of women into the Army, and in particular the processes of identity construction. In doing that, it analyzes discourses, practices and experienced processes in their training as an identification material that outlines a certain way of being and acting. Military education forges an institutional subject while a male subject. Exacerbating the male/ female roles separation, it reinforces the traditional social representation and promotes the natural and sexualized acceptance of an identity, by complement in the case of women.
