Funny you should mention SD; I met a girl from that area during my travels not too long ago who was in Special Operations, Major/Recently promoted Colonel, don’t recall. Anyway, she enthusiastically jumped out of planes (and she couldn’t fathom why this did not appeal to me lol) and served in Iraq and Afghanistan as well. Communications oriented activities was all I ever learned. She was fond of telling me she’d have to kill me if I kept plying her for detailed info about her missions...pretty sure she meant it. She had my full respect, I can tell you that. It goes without saying but the young lady from this article has my complete admiration, which is why I posted the story. I don’t like seeing disabled Vets of any sex but know that despite preconceived notions we may hold, many Military women are made of seriously steely stuff.
