On Friday, we reported on Madison Marsh, the Air Force pilot who was the first active-duty service member to compete for the Miss America crown.
Last night, she won.

The New York Post notes:
The new Miss America graduated from the Air Force Academy last year just days after she clinched Miss Colorado. She is also studying at the Harvard Kennedy School in hopes of receiving a Master’s degree in public policy.
Marsh, an Arkansas native, had to soar through three nights of preliminary competitions before the field was reduced to only 11 contestants. That handful then faced off in four categories, including a discussion round and evening gown presentation before a winner was picked, CNN reported.
The biggest congratulations to Marsh.
She won!!! https://t.co/8jKdWqwyf7

In today’s installment of “Badass Women Doing Badass Things”:
Miss America 2024 is a graduate of your United States Air Force Academy and will start pilot training upon completion of her postgraduate studies at Harvard. So as you can see, a total slacker 🤣 ✈️ 🇺🇸 https://t.co/pqFlARUirt

A total slacker. Not.
While I have the utmost respect and love for all the other branches of the military, this is epic.
GO Air Force! https://t.co/0FYLzJ321z

Very epic.
Wow, are the guys at the squadron going to bust her chops every day. https://t.co/uZ8h0Bokni

We doubt it, but if they do, she can handle it.
She's a Fort Smith, AR native...and probably a future President. This woman is AMAZING. https://t.co/5lzmC5wI5i

She'd be a powerhouse in politics.

CAUTION! Havahad ahead. They have a really bad reputation these days. And, congrats youngster!
No doubt she is an amazing, highly accomplished young woman at such a young age.
But some FReeper pointed out how unusual it is for a WHITE real woman in the military to win. Might it be the armed forces are SO hurting for recruits, especially white recruits, that they arranged for a beautiful young white woman to win?
Nah, couldn’t happen. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
She can calibrate our joystick at any time!
Hope she is a patriot who does not indoctrinate others in DEI in the military, which would be a misuse of her platform as Miss America.
Very cool!

Typical Scare Force ploy. Nothing but a beauty Padgett anyway. All about getting your face in front of a camera telling people how great you are when in reality you sift through the care packages before handing crumbs to the real fighters, pack the USO shows and play volleyball while we actually went outside the wire. To clarify, only about 10% of the services totally actually see real combat anyway.
This is a shocker, she’s not gay, Black, trans???
“””””Hope she is a patriot who does not indoctrinate others in DEI in the military, which would be a misuse of her platform as Miss America.”””””
Too late, she is already a major part of it.
It will be interesting to see how she can 1- fulfill the Miss America contract for a year of PR appearances and endorsements 2- complete a Master’s Degree at Harvard, and 3- somehow enter UPT.
Prob will juggle 1-2 and defer 3.
I’m thinking there are a lot of broken-hearted guys at the O Club.
Read an article that said she is trans. Couldn’t find it though.
Read an article that said she is trans.
Add that to the pile of inaccurate reporting that has been going on regarding this story.
Not Guilty!
Nah.
Jest a cheap way for the Miss America competition to save money. (She can fly herself around the country for show-stopping appearances. )
By the way, what will her USAF callsign become?
By the way, would she hit Laz?
The fix was in from the RICO Biden Admin from the Start. This is supposed to fix recruting and make the Air Force Glamorous - Again.
