WASHINGTON — The investigation into the case of a U.S. servicewoman who reappeared as mysteriously as she vanished will continue, a senior defense official said Tuesday, adding that something about her story didn't add up.
Air Force Maj. Jill Metzger, 33, vanished from a shopping mall in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Sept. 5. She resurfaced three days later when she knocked on the door of a house in Kant, about 22 outside Bishkek, and claimed she had been kidnapped.
Kyrgyz police said Monday that Metzger, who was serving a tour at the U.S. military base in Manas, gave confused accounts about her absence and refused to make further statements after consulting with the U.S. Embassy.
Metzger was flown out of Kyrgyzstan within a few hours of her reappearance and was admitted Sunday to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. She was listed in good condition; officials had previously said she did not appear to have suffered serious injury during her disappearance.
The military said Metzger would be debriefed by a team of specialists and receive a medical checkup, but there was no immediate word on how long she would remain hospitalized.

Anyway, I hope that this was something done to her rather than something she did and that it will not result in disiplinary action. I suspect that her service career is over in any case.
Both...in aircraft maintenance...along with B-52s and F-16s before becoming an LRO.
Waiting outside the camp while her dope levels in her blood disappeared?
Yea, that would have been real smart. Slip off to see your new paramour, right after telling your 4 friends you'd rejoin them in a few minutes, in another part of the same store you were in at the time. They'd think nothing of your failure to return and would not notify the authorities or anything like that.
Right.
Can't say about the Academy, but in AF ROTC, they taught us the purpose was to destroy the enemy and his ability to continue the fight. At Squadron Officer School it was pretty much the same, with some additional stuff about supporting the other services, like the Jarheads, in accomplishing their part of that effort. If the AF had it's druthers, there wouldn't be any enemy left to close with, they'd already be destroyed. But we know it rarely works out that way, thus the "support the other services" stuff.
Some people will just never get over losing their Space Available slot on a C-141 bound for Thailand.

Confused accounts could be explained by shock and most especially by language difficulties. I doubt the Major speaks Russian, or at least speaks it very well. I expect some of the Krygz police speak some English, but not well. Lots of room for confusion just in the language difficulties. When the embassy told her to shut up, she took the (very good) advice. Let the Embassy and the OSI deal with the Krygz authorities.
It's Aimee Semple McPherson redux. And once again, it's farce.
The wouldn't kidnap her. They're crazy, not stupid. Well not that stupid anyway.
Not even close ... the one on the right had Charlie Manson eyes.
The may even give up some terrorists in order for us to take her back! 8-)
No doubt the "bad guys" in this world know such things.
