I remember quite a few pretty USAF gals when I was in (88-98). Must have been a generational thing. She is a pretty one.

For the talent competition she should field strip an M-4 Carbine and reassemble while being timed.

A capital idea! But omit the words "an M-4 Carbine and reassemble."

It was rigged!

I have a buddy who was a finance officer in the Air Force during Vietnam, served stateside. His line is "Yeah, we were titless WAFs", said with a completely straight face. It still cracks me up.

I predicted Miss Tennesee would win.

Miss USA is a native of Clarksville Tennessee. She is a gratuate of Austin Peay University

I suspect there were more then a few airmen in a state of shock upon reporting to Lt George for the 1st time.

If the Air Force does not get this babe into recruiting duty, they're nuts !!

[napscoordinator]

I don't think that is the case anymore. I believe all services have gone to the one generic title of Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine for everyone. I kinda like it. Do you feel it should be more separated?

"One thing about it, she'll make lots of "little soldiers" snap to attention."

ROFLMAO!

After 29 years in the Army, the customs of the service are hard to set aside. The "one-size-fits-all" concept is not easy to accept. Under the heading of "good order and discipline," I still believe there are good reasons for retaining the distinctions. When "we are one in the spirit" becomes the norm, "democracy" begins to raise its ugly head...the military is not a democracy, it is a benevolent dictatorship...and it needs to be. Somebody has to be in charge, and it is never put to a vote as to who that is. (Maybe in the Air Force where there are really two services: the pilots, and everybody else)

Every long term officer at some point gets assigned to one of the two Rs. Recruiting or Reserve Components and that is still recruiting of a sort. If she stays long enough she'll end up in that.

Here is a much better picture of Rachel Smith <
