Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, in full camouflage gear, demonstrates her combat and first aid skills to the media as part of a three-week military training course in Almnas, Sweden, to prepare her for international peacekeeping missions, March 18, 2003. The 25-year-old princess, the oldest of the three children of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, practiced combat skills, marksmanship, first aid and chemical warfare safety with 41 other men and women at the Swedish armed forces' peacekeeping training ground south of Stockholm. Enlisting for military service is obligatory for men in Sweden but only a third actually undergo training. For women it is voluntary and about 16,000 men and women undergo military service every year.

Nice pics, admittedly, but lets keep it focused on our proud, beautuful and brave women in uniform**... and keep faces in the pics too, folks.. let's not disrespect our honorable women by reducing them to nothing more than a body shot.

(**And hey, keep in mind that police and fire qualify too, you know!)

Don't tell me they have to draft guys to join her army !

[In The Defense of Liberty]

Yeah, kinda makes me wish I was Swedish (and about 30 years younger!)

Did y'all read the story about these 4 USAF women? It was wonderful.

IIRC, they were the first all women crew on a tanker plane,(proper lingo?), other pix showed them refueling 2 different planes.
