I have always considered myself a classy lady and a damn good nurse. I have spent my life in the military; I was born into a military family and made my daddy proud during my years of service in Korea, as a M*A*S*H* nurse.In the M*A*S*H* unit, I guess you could say I grew up during that war; I came in an idealistic young major, looking for love and respect, and learned that the only way a woman can be loved and respected is if she first loves herself and respects her body and her reputation. I was honored to command the best team of nurses in the Korean conflict, and we had some very dedicated and talented doctors (all but one, who was kind of a needlenose ferretface, but he had his cute moments too). Since that time, I have pursued a successful military career, rising to a rank of Colonel in this man's Army. I have whipped more nurses (and doctors!) into shape than any other nurse since Florence Nightingale, and I'm proud to say that our boys in combat are receiving stellar care from the talented medical corps that we send to Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East and the world.
Nursing is my life. Commanding is my calling. Altogether, my life hasn't been so bad. I have a lot to be thankful for.

My Interests

The US Army. Nursing. Generals. R&R (Rules & Regulations).

I'd like to meet:

How bout I'd like to strangle...? That list would be a lot easier to put up here.
First, I would take out Martha Stewart. What 100 years of feminism accomplished, she's taking away bit by bit, and making scads of money in the process! Who said all women want is to be "crafty"? If I had been a guard at that federal prison she stayed at, she would never have wanted to see another sequin or bottle of fabric glue again in her life. I'd have put her to work, all right! Kelly Ripa - Who in the world stays that manic all the time? She has a nice husband, very good looking, and rich. Why does she hang out with that needlenose Regis Philbin all the time? Why did she think that would be better than staying in that soap opera with "Mateo," making sure he wasn't out kissing other women!? IDIOT! Jane Fonda. Her "feminism" is all right, and her bodybuilding was good too. I've forgiven her for her stupid mistakes in Viet Nam - hey, the locals were always pretty friendly to us, too - it's easy for a LIBERAL like her to fall into the Communist traps they set. But she is hovering around repeating her errors - She was fine while she was with Ted; now she's flying off the handle again. Some people just can't handle rejection, I guess. People who want to believe that everyone has some redeeming value, regardless of their political mindset, are NUTS if you ask me.

Music:

I like the Army Marching Band.

Movies:

M*A*S*H*

Television:

Other military and medical journals and periodicals, as the articles catch my eye.

Here he is in S Korea in 1950, at the Joint Cheifs of Staff meeting, with Admiral Arthur Radford.

I remember like it was yesterday.

Kashmir

I have just gotten back from a trip to fabled Kashmir. We are again in "civilization," after having spent a grueling two and a half weeks relieving the UN medical team onsite, working with the locals ...
