Thanks!!  According to the lady I talked to at Ft. Point, "quite a few
women" were court martialed in those days.  Of course, in those days women
could be court martialed for practically anything like walking outside too
late a night, fraternization with the troops, batting an eyelash at a
married man, starching a collar too much, and other things of grave
national security like that.  :)
