G.I. Jill is on a quest to become to become Miss America 2008. SGT Jill Stevens has already been crowned Miss Utah 2007 and will document her quest to win the crown on her site. Here’s a smidgen from her latest blog entry:

It’s funny how these past few months as Miss Utah has related so much to a Military Deployment for me. I feel like on June 29 I received my “orders for mobilization” and I have entered a whole new combat zone as I prep for Miss America. The past several weeks have been busy as I have been in Washington DC to run the Marine Corps Marathon, speak, and have several appearances and interviews. Miami was after that for some production rehearsals with the Miss America Organization on a cruise. I do have to say that’s not a bad way to relax after a marathon but WARNING: AVOID CRUISES DURING HURRICANE SEASON. We had to change a lot of our ports because of the weather. For the past 2 weeks I have been in L.A. where all 52 Miss America Contestants filmed the new “Reality Show” that will air on TLC in January. 4 one hour episodes each week leading up the competition. It was a kick to meet all of the contestants and we really got along with each other, much to the surprise of the producers as they thought they were going to be filming a lot of drama. Not the case. It was a blast and a lot of girls really caught on to my soldier life. Lets just say a lot of camouflage paint was used… tune in to find out what happened!

I’d like to wish her luck in her quest. I hope she gets it. Personally, I don’t think she should even have to compete. I’d give it to her hands down just for what she’s done and continues to do already for this country.
