Your post confused me. I thought you were negating my comment about not being a current fighter pilot. Mea culpa.
She makes it sound as if her path forward will not be as a career fighter pilot.
She speaks of public policy and cancer research.
I don’t know if those are legitimate answers, or trained beauty pageant answers.
She can make a lot more coin outside of the military.
Winning the Miss America pageant comes with a lot of appearances. She will be wearing the crown at lots of engagements for the next year around the country. Maybe even around the world. I suspect she will have to limit her aircraft training for a little while.
Her Masters degree is probably mostly on line.
