A Leader
 
http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...431a_00011.jpg

This here is my niece and pride is a very small word for what Im feeling for her. She has a heart for those who are wounded and wants to work with them and their families. That has been her dream since she was a Sophomore in high school and she took huge steps in the past couple of months to make it happen.

She had never fired a weapon, is a beautiful woman with a line of crying boys in her wake, didnt even know what the word formation meant and certainly didnt have any idea of what a DI was.

She is now a Sharp Shooter, was chosen by 48 men and 5 women as the Top Soldier of her Platoon, was chosen by the DI's as the platoon Guide-on and finished PT at "ALL" the men's requirements in times that beat a good percentage of the men. Oh yea she was one of three people in her battalion to reciece accomendations during graduation tomorrow.

Very cool and I know that she will make a fine officer.

I do not favor women on the battle field, but the character of this young woman is remarkable. I think of Emily, Dylan and now Ameana... it is amazing the types of soldiers COTEP can produce. (ok she was from my sister, but it still counts!!!:D)
