She looked better without the makeup.
College grad, commissioned officer, seven years active duty, including service in Iraq. She now is a reserve Signal Corps officer with an MP battalion.
God bless her; she's a pretty cool gal. [My late father was a WWII combat vet and a career Army Signal Corps officer. He spoke of stringing wire & setting up comms for the division in pretty rough conditions, often in jungles and under fire.]
Agreed. God bless her.
Lifetime not guilty of anything, ever certificate issued and noted for all records in perpetuity.
I generally don’t care for the concept of NFL cheerleaders, but GOOD FOR HER!!!!
I’ll second that!
