Yet, you dish out bunk of your own. Sgt Stevens WAS a medic while deployed to Afghanistan in 2004-6 for eighteen months, earning the Combat Medic Badge and hardly the only medic I know who is a SGT. Since her return, she has completed Nursing School with a bachelor's degree. She is still in the National Guard but has applied for a direct comminssion to the Army after the pageant. I think Sgt Stevens could teach you a bit about honor and respect, sir. Wow Terry – a lot of judgement without a lot of facts and you from a war that has suffered most for it.

Specialist7 went away in the 70's and the rest went away in the mid-60's. There's nothing bunk or appalling about a Soldier wanting to do something in his/her free time and if it also happens to bring positive focus on the Army, all the better. It's no different than a Soldier playing on a professional flag football team or competing at a Tae Kwon Do competition. Terry,
