I think it is great that she is considered a no slack hardass and she maybe excellent for the job but if anyone on the site was a former Drill Sgt they would know better. I never worked with one in SF so maybe we dont have one but you never know. Just happy to see that someone that works hard and that is passionate about what they do made it to the top. To TR's point I would even bet if they raised her standards for the PT test she would work hard enough to exceed them or die trying as she just sounds like that kind of a soldier. I am just a bit shocked that with everything going on in the world she has never been near enough to a combat zone to get a combat patch. I am sure she could have gotten herself there somehow. I was actually wondering the other day how a senior sgt without a combat patch would look in today's Army. Hell some of the guys probably have two or three different ones they could wear. When i went through basic in 1980 i did not have a single drill Sgt without a combat patch.
I am also trying to think what female she would have seen in a red beret in 1979 or early 1980. I didnt think the maroon beret had been returned to the Airborne at that point? I know that by 82 it had but i thought in 79/80 when she would have seen this commanding looking female in a red beret they were wearing the good old cunt cap with glider patch.
