My neice is over there, doing that, right now...
I am not too thrilled about it.
She is however, the first female in our family to join & serve.
She has joined the ranks of almost every male in our family, in serving...
Dunno if she is gonna get her wings though....
Small female, and 5 guys are gonna 'blood' her wings?

When she was stationed early on in Balad, Iraq, my daughter talked herself into being part of a visit into nearby towns. She’s almost 6’ tall and looks good in her helmet and her rifle slung over her shoulder with a gaggle of children surrounding her, all wreathed in radiant smiles.
Wish it were always that easy.
