Ten Hut!

Good luck Jill. I don't know you personally but it would be an honor to have someone like you representing the USA. I live in a military community and I appreciate what you do for us to help protect us and allow us to have our freedom. Our country would be much better off if there were more of your type representing us. You are in my prayers! Loretta - Kingsland, Georgia

I would also mention that as an NCO in the Kentucky Army National Guard and a veteran of 4 deployments with #5(my 3rd in Iraq)soon upon me theres something needed to be said pertaining to woman and their rights in the military. As a member of the Military Police its not just our job to prevent incidents from happening but to react(with speed)to any that may happen within the Army community. The military as a whole is nothing more than a smaller reflection of our society in general,we have crimes committed on posts the same as all communities only at a lower rate. Trust me when I say that the Army(and overall military) takes EVERY commited incident seriously and sexual harrassment is NOT tolerated at ANY level......PERIOD. The Army highly stresses the impotantance of respecting their fellow soldiers regardless of gender and when the bounderies of respect are crossed its EVERY soldiers duty(regardless of rank or gender)to address the situation,make an on the spot correction and dress the(wrongful)soldier down as expected.
As an MP(which actually stands for Multi Purpose)I've personally made such "on the spot corrections" of both men AND woman in uniform from verbally reminding them of the Army policy to demanding their units chain of command and informing them of their soldiers behavior. If that sounds strict it IS because it SHOULD be and imagine the military actually takes such incidents more seriously than those in the civilian sector. As an Army EOR(Equal Opportunity Representative)I've witnessed first hand how serious the Army takes such incidents as sexual harrassment,racial/religious discrimination and creating a hostile work environment with promotions overlooked,losing rank,lost financial wages and careers sidetracked to actual confinement and withdrawn from further military service based on the
severity. It should be noted that the U.S. Army and all other military branches highly discourage ANY acts of sexual harrassment towards members of the armed forces and that personel that do decide to break the laws/customs are dealt with swiftly and by the UCMJ(Uniform Code of Military Justice)of their particular military branch.

How refreshing! We will be pulling for Jill here in New Orleans. There could not be a better representative of women and soldiers. Good luck!

Girlfriend You Go for IT!!!! who cares whether you wore polish or walked in heels,that is soooooooooooooo shallow, You put your self in harms way went to war helped the wounded showed Love and compassion to others, Your the one I want for a role model for my Granddaughters!! GOD BLESS YOU and Thank You from the bottom of my Heart for going to war for me..

Your comment that the military does not get involved in activities of this nature blows my mind. The US Army is sponsoring several motorsport teams in the tunes of millions of dollars a year to a limited few high profile people that have recognition in differnet areas, These funds should be helping those returning from war with tremendous loss of either life or limbs and there families. As we know the world is changing and those in power dictate policy and effect all those less prosperest in financial positions. Our education system is broken and the accountability of funds from the government and major corporations sources are ruining the every day life of our ordinary citizen..
Let us take care of those who take care of us and then look at hose requiring assistance. Please help those that have given life first before profits and policies to independent gain. Thanks for listening
Just Common Sense and not power.

Excellent. She's won already by being her true self no matter what.

I am the wife of a marine, the sister of a marine, the sister of the air force and the daugter of a retired Air Force. I don't understand how anyone can sit back and try to criticise all of the war stuff that is going on withour looking at the players first! When my family sat down for Thanksgiving, we weren't happy that most of my family was going to have to go back to war zones in 08, but we support each other and their fellow troops. To the dad that has posted about his son learning to shoot- thank you. to the "perfect 10" what if your husband came home with PTSD like mine did? (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) I wish everyone would get off their high horse and simply support the troops! Some of these troops are like my family and they see their fathers doing armed forces, so that's what they want to do when they grow up becaus they were raised with the fatherly figure immage in their heads.I don't care if they spent an hour or a year fighting, they all are affected and they all deserve our grattitude and praise... and if G.I.Jill wins? awesome. Just let it happen, and if you don't like it? run for president and try to change it, or keep your mouth shut unless you have something nice to say!!... we already have a bunch of candidates this year, what's one more gonna hurt?

Right on Jill!!!!! I was prior Navy myself and I think it is awesome that there is someone to represent the woman of the military and how versatile we really are...I will be cheering for you.
