“Hi, I’m Amanda; I’ll be your turret-gunner today”.
This is either crap, or a sad illustration of what is going on in our military. Put the female aspect aside and ponder this as I did:
I pistured myself in the turret gunner position and thought back to when I was in the Army. If Wm. Westmoreland had climbed into my PC and asked who I was I wouldn't have replied, "I'm Jim". I'd have been crapping my pants and half screaming as I tried to stand (or sit) straight while spitting out that I was; "Spec Four ***** Charlie company, 504thS&T, SIR!" (I probably would have added my serial number out of habit, too)
