I recall waaay back on AAR, her sometimes letting it slip that her lack of formal education was a sense of insecurity for her. I believe that she enlisted in the air force at an early age-- may have been precipitated by some issues with family or perhaps a way to escape some behaviors. (conjecture on my part).

She's self-educated in a manner that has brought her success, so I credit her. But, I think in so doing, she projects some insecurity upon her audience.
