I never got that impression from that captain. She was a CO of a medivac unit. I did a bunch of work for them. I got a commendation out of it. We even went on leave at the same time. It was very pleasant to have her squished next to me (even in full body armor) on the C130 cargo netting seats. She had a jailbroken ipod and was playing a brick breaker game... I melted. Like, I knew she was cute, but that? Man... Then we got stuck a few days before catching a flight back to the base. I talked to her a bit there since we were all in PT uniforms and no one knew it respective rank. I kinda regret not saying something more than just acceptable chit chat. I honestly didn't want to cause her any trouble. She wouldn't deserve that. But I do wonder...

She seemed to be. I don't know if it was her idea, but she implemented a plan to greatly reduce time to pickup casevacs. (That was part of the work I was doing, and I won't publicly mention more than that.) Saved some lives, though, my unit was very on point within our operational theater, at least after the previous, grossly lax unit left the AO. It didn't take the local and foreign fighters long to realize that we were not soft targets. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
