1) "Lieutenant Tina Turner"
More jobs opening to women has truly inspired me. I'm going to spend this weekend going more into detail about the first post I put up on my blog (http://mynewblogawesomeblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/military-police-officerjobs-opening-to.html). I'm also explaining why it's important to me and how women feel about the military today. I'm going to quickly give you a woman's point of view from Lieutenant Tina Turner and her response to combat situations.
1)"I remember hearing the bullets hit the ground beside me and hit my truck behind me."
She said as they were under heavy attack.
"Our squad leader had us sneak around and flank them. From a trench line that overlooked the field, we laid down fire, and I know that I shot, and made fall, three. After twenty minutes, most of the insurgents out in that field were incapacitated, but there were three more still left in the trench line opposite us, about thirty meters away. We knew that the only way we were going to end this is if we took them out. The staff sergeant and myself, we jumped in the trench; our teammate followed us along the top. I was so concentrated that I couldn't hear the bullets. I didn't even hear my own rifle. We hugged the wall of the trench on the right side. It kind of jutted out a little bit and gave us cover, but we couldn't get the right angle to kill them with our rifles. We resorted to throwing grenades. That did the trick. Looking at what was left of them, I felt nothing."
