My new favorite military vegetarian

Apparently, PETA hosted a contest to honor the military's sexiest vegetarians and recently announced the winners. I'd like to take this opportunity to send my most sincere congratulations to the Air Force's representative:

* Air Force 2nd Lt. Gina Lewis, stationed at Hurlburt Field, Fla., has been a vegetarian since she was 6, when she said she realized that Bambi and his mother were no different from other animals killed for food. The former model has completed four marathons since entering the Air Force, proving wrong those who told her she wouldn’t be able to maintain her vegetarian lifestyle in the military. She has cared for rescue animals at every duty assignment, and hopes to convince the Air Force to switch to leather-free combat boots.

Commercial Contest
I must figure out a way to get in on this:

12/9/2008 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Senior leaders are asking Airmen to get behind the camera and submit a video for the next Air Force advertising campaign. The contest has begun and runs until Jan. 9.

Airmen are encouraged to create a video depicting what their unit or they do to support the Air Force mission, as well as highlight why people should join the Air Force. The videos potentially will be used for the next recruiting and retention advertising campaign, according to Keith Lebling, the contest manager. (continued)

I'm going to mess around with my flip camera one of these days, and I promise to create something worthy of entrance into said contest.

Air Force Combatives

Mrs. Morganobrien.com takes no prisoners!

Great. Just after I get out of the service, the Air Force introduces combatives (link). Now I'm not saying there weren't a few guys that would have roughed me up pretty good, but I can think of at least one dude I would have loved to meet in the octagon. Unfortunately, I'm sure the wuss would fake a knee injury and then brag about getting a 100 on a modified PT test.

Oh, and Carson Smith (read this crap) deserves a beating, too. Although, as I write this, I realize that I have know idea how big Mr. Smith is. But for beating a defenseless rat terrier to death with a golf club, I think even he realizes that he deserves to be cut down to size by someone bigger than him.

PS-I bet Mrs. Morganobrien.com could hold her own in the octagon.

MMA = not for the faint of heart

...and speaking of combatives, after my sign off, check out these badass videos from the world of MMA (courtesy of Deadspin)

As always, With my greatest respect
