Little Miss Airborne!

Well, well, well --what do we have here? Little Miss Army Airborne herself.

Its no secret female soldiers got a lot of attention from the male soldiers because they far outnumbered us! You also take out of the mix the married females and females that uh --- swing the other way and that left something like 100 single male soldiers to every 1 single female. Okay, maybe not that much but --you get my point. I had grown accustom to the attention--constant attention.

Enter in Little Miss Airborne. We got a new female soldier in the company. As usual the male soldiers flock all over the new females --that lasts for a little while then "business as usual". So when this new soldier came in --I didn't mind so much . . . until --business as usual wasn't coming along quick enough.

This soldier, whose name I cannot recall (probably because I didn't like her much), was sharp. She was what we call hardcore --she was Army! She had Airborne wings, she could run PT like a mad woman, she starched, pressed, stiff, standing tall, Army, soldier, tough, hooah, strong --but could carry all of it off with a flare of femininity. She's certainly not the first female soldier that was like this but the first female soldier I met that was like this and still be cute. PLUS she was short, no taller than me and yet could run in PT formation and out run most of the guys. Whenever I had a hard time keeping up in formation I'd tell the guys it was because I was short and they'd say, "Well so-in-so can do it."

Ugh! She got on my last nerve! All the buzz (and attention) was about her and the fact that she was AIRBORNE. Airborne! That's it!

I finally found my solution to two problems. One --Little Miss Airborne won't steal ALL of my thunder! Secondly, I can finally gain some respect and attention from SSG Newsome. This genius plan of mine was --well, genius!

I'm going to Airborne School! HOOAH!!!!!
