Friedkin comes across as the typical hard-nosed and passionate drill instructor; employing emotive language and insults for the most of the training sequences. She pushes her cadets to be able to perform their duty even when faced with challenges that are not part of their native habitat.

She will always push you hard. Whenever you make a mistake or cannot meet the physical demands required of her, Friedkin relentlessly points out, she will attempt you to quit. She's around 42 years old.
