There is a common theme to my life. I am always working on living up to the ‘chick’s that kick ass’ ideal. Had the nick name of GI Jane while on Active Duty in the Army. Got the call sign ‘CrazyGirl’ from my F-16 pilot friend who I picked up while skydiving one afternoon.

So, I am going to start a new category “Chicks that Kick Ass.” This is along the lines of BlackFive’s ‘Someone You Should Know.’

I guess it is fitting that I found the first chick on the list from BlackFive’s blog:

Sergeant Grey Eagle

From her blog:

“I am a 35 year old wife, mother, and U.S. Soldier with the 101st Airborne Division. I am a Combat Medic with Charlie Company (1st Brigade) deployed at FOB Warrior, Iraq. This website is about my thoughts, my feelings, and my life with Charlie Company during our deployment.”

Not only is she a soldier with the 101st Airborne Division, but she is a MEDIC…obviously a chick after my own heart.

Congrats to her on her recent promotion to Sergeant.
