Rachel Washburn, age 25, hasn't had a typical career path, to put it mildly. She joined the Eagles' cheerleading squad from 2007 to 2009 while a student at Drexel University. After graduation, she joined the Army and participated in paratrooper training while ultimately following a path into military intelligence.

Washburn, now a 1st lieutenant based out of Fort Stewart, Ga., served as part of a Cultural Support Team designed to attach women to existing special ops units with the express purpose of relating more effectively to local women.

I wonder who will get pissed off and “offended” about this first. The homosexuals or the Muslims.

I wonder if she likes balding guys who spend way too much time on FreeRepublic.

I think she looks better in her uniform shot than the other picture while cheerleading (on Yahoo). However, the cheerleading picture posted in this thread looks better.

Nice!

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories.

There were all the regular types of stuff: spilled milk and pennies saved. But then the teacher realized, much to her dismay, that she had missed Janie. Janie, do you have a story to share?'

''Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mommy. She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit.

She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.

She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops.

She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands.

''Good Heavens,' said the horrified teacher. 'What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story?

"Stay away from Mommy when she's been drinking."

She is amazing and stunning. I lead an interesting life where I get to see women interact with other women. The one's in a leadership / coaching type position that are beautiful have their students / piers gravitate to them, the underlings like love them, how can you not like someone with amazing bone structure, it must be a genetic thing they look at them and smile, especially if they are kind ( she has that smile BTW...), or as I call it they love the girl-e-girls. If so this Itel Officer probably will get women to open up to her more than we will ever know since much of what she does is probably in the category of don't ask what I do for a living.

I find it interesting, maybe just maybe she is on the cutting edge of what is the role that the Israeli's have found to be the optimum role for their Female Soldiers, and that is Intel. With all the less than optimal things we here at times of the challenges are military is going through, maybe they are about to get something really right here....
