I learned my geometry but there was more than academic prowess to be acquired in that classroom. I guess she was the first of many military professors I've had, a tough act to follow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395959113568829045.post-27473674000637055622009-09-11T10:50:22.236-04:002009-09-11T10:50:22.236-04:00Combat Medic--Another soldier here referring to SS...Combat Medic--Another soldier here referring to SSG Beaufort said, "She's harder than woodpecker lips."

Being a native of New York City, he'd never had any need for a driver's license before joining the military. All our driving tests were conducted on the flightline. As we we neared the end of the runway, my troop's foot was pressed firmly on the gas. Scared he would miss a gear if he downshifted, we missed bursting through the fence by mere inches as we careened into a U-turn on two wheels. Fortunately we thumped back down onto all fours. <br /><br />I wish I had had a "Student Driver" sign! <br /><br />Rock on, Laura, rock on!<br /><br />mamaworecombatbootsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395959113568829045.post-18391916092628811612009-09-10T21:15:44.619-04:002009-09-10T21:15:44.619-04:00I love this woman!

Love the "Student Driver"...Great article. Love the "Student Driver" sign on the vehicle. She sounds like a person who has her priorities on straight. I'm sure her children miss her and will be glad when she's stateside again. I can how being outside training and doing other things could surpass algebra in interest by a factor of, say, a thousand. Of course, I only passed math by pure chance.Susan Cronkhttp://susancronk.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395959113568829045.post-42981540672879721022009-09-10T14:22:23.875-04:002009-09-10T14:22:23.875-04:00the army has a gem here.(thumbs up)the grandson ha...the army has a gem here.(thumbs up)the grandson had a good trainer i see. thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395959113568829045.post-44611896363283505452009-09-10T12:46:51.181-04:002009-09-10T12:46:51.181-04:00That's one of the nicest and most interesting ...That's one of the nicest and most interesting profiles of a soldier I've ever read.Darianoreply@blogger.com
