Lol, she's damn crazy ! She's probably an attention whore :1orglaugh

They didn't say what she'll be doing after her training... wonder how big of a PX operation they have over there?

Granny got some balls just hope it doesn't get her killed...

Going all the way to Iraq to run a register? She could have just went down to WalMart and been a greeter

and what do you call yourself?

crazy shit

I hear she's going straight after Osama next mission.

Good for her.....:thumbsup

I think she took to many stupid pills.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Very rarely do I laugh out loud...that is great!

she only has a few years left to live anyways, might as well end it with an Iraqi bullet.

:thumbsup

omfg :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Go Granny go :)

As a 72 year-old DOD civilian, there is little risk. Hell she has a greater chance of dying of old age than of a stray bullet or as a hostage abductee.

people laughing but when the military is streched this thin it only means one thing....trust me their are men over there in their 50's...people who just 6-8 weeks prior were offfice workers now their dropped into combat :1orglaugh

She'll be more a problem then help.

Riiiight...

I know "office workers" that are Lieutenants, Majors, and Colonels that could kick anyones ass. They're part of little things we call "the Reserves" and "the National Guard"....

Before you have everyone thinking they were conscripted, point out that the people you mention knew full well what they were doing and are well trained. How do I know this? I was one of them..... Desert Storm 1.

Peace and Hairgrease.

tough granny! :ak47:

Shes gonna run a lean mean PX as in the Post Exchange. For all you that aren't aware of what it is, it's pretty much a junior K-Mart or Walmart.

Yeh, lets make the war a joke and have some old lady hog the media while people are dying over there (who do not get media attention)

That's good for her and all, but I just dont know :helpme
GL to her.

thats nothing. I used to walk barefoot 30 miles to school, up hills both ways, and did you hear me complaining??

She must be going pretty good for her age. So long as she can pass the medical tests I dont see anything wrong. They go through a pretty stringent workout.

how odd, I don't know a soul who wants to go there

right, you can trained someone in 6 weeks for combat, you're a idiot to think this, how can you even learn the culture in that time...a rasied to us means stop to the iraqi's it means HI this why so many cilivans were getting kilted at the checkpoints :1orglaugh

edit- DS1 is way different than this, this time they're figthing against people who are fighting for the family

i''d hit it!

Most likely will get in the way.


Maybe she could coax enemy combatants out of hiding with the smell of her fresh baked pies though.
