She can come earn my military cross anytime she wants. Damn.

Thudfark: Well, it was bound to happen. Subby actually called it right. Still batting .00000865. That said, hat's off to the lass.

That was my reaction.

"Oh lord, what hambeast has subby dug up this time? Sigh...here goes. *click*

...wow."

Yeah, not a bad find. Though I feel the need to comment on the Sharpie eyebrows. Keep Sharpies away from the fourth woman to receive Britain's Military Cross.

Female medic awarded Military Cross for bravery
A female medic who twice risked her life under heavy fire to treat two gravely wounded Afghan soldiers has won the Military Cross.

Lance Corporal Kylie Watson, 23, tried to resuscitate one casualty as bullets smashed into the dust around her in a totally exposed position for 20 minutes.
She was also forced to use her SA80A2 rifle in anger firing 15 rounds to help defend her patrol during an ambush.
The LCpl also ran 100 metres under fire to save the life of another ANA soldier who had been shot through the pelvis.
His Afghan comrades were unhappy about a woman treating the wounded man and tried to stop her.
The Lance Corporal from Ballymena, who stands 5'1" tall, said: "I told them straight (through an interpreter), 'If I don't treat him, he dies. There is no argument, he is getting treated.

"I just got on with it. There was no option. He had been shot through the pelvis and was bleeding heavily.
"We exposed the wound and I managed to stop the bleeding by applying several first field dressings.
"I got the stretcher ready and two guys from 1 LANCS (1st Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment) and an ANA warrior helped me get him back into cover."
The incident happened as Kylie went on patrol from a checkpoint near Nad E Ali in Helmand Province in June last year.
In a separate firefight she ran into exposed ground to treat an Afghan National Army soldier who had been shot in the chest.
She said: "I ran forward to treat him. There was a tiny entry wound where the bullet had gone into his chest and no exit wound.
"There was very little blood but he was not breathing. I tried to resuscitate him for about 20 minutes but nothing could be done.
"I think he had died before I got to him, bless him. I looked up at last and saw bullets hitting the dust around me.
"I realised for the first time how exposed I was, I was just kneeling in a field with no cover. It was time to go."
The Lance Corporal, engaged to be married to a medic with 16 Medical Regiment currently serving in Afghanistan, also had to use her weapon in anger.
She said: "About 12 of us were patrolling south a few hundred metres when we came under small arms fire from three men in a ditch.
"There was no cover available to us apart from an irrigation ditch but you don't want to dive into one of them in case it has IEDs planted in it.
"We needed to stop them shooting at us quickly and had to help. I just took a knee and fired about half a magazine at their position, about 15 rounds.
"It sounds dramatic I suppose but it wasn't, I know for a fact I didn't hit a thing. I need to get on the range a bit more often I suppose."

//I've got to believe that risking her life trying to save a dead Afghani soldier was the main reason she got the award. Will drive them nuts.

That pic did her a lot of justice...

Well part of me is standing up and saluting her.

i'd rack dat ass.

Good on 'er! Brave, attractive, dedicated & surnamed Watson as well.

Whiskey Priest: Hot military girl thread?

Broktun: Medics carry rifles?

I did not know that.

A medic may be armed to defend themselves and their patients
