Cheerleader sniper

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | June 6, 2008 


A friend of mine sent me this picture and told me the female airman is a
USAF Security Forces sniper. She was a high school cheerleader and
Homecoming Queen and enlisted in the military after her graduation. She
qualified very high in marksmanship and was trained as a sniper.

My buddy served with her recently in Afghanistan. He said on Easter day
she was watching a road that lead to a NATO military base when she
observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target?.she shot
him. Turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban and was burying an
IED (a roadside bomb) that was to be detonated when a US patrol walked
by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several
soldiers.

The interestin g fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725
yards. I have trouble seeing that far. She shot him as he was bent over
burying the bomb. The shot struck him in the butt blowing into the bomb
which detonated. He was blown to pieces.

The Air Force made a motivational poster of her.

    Supposedly not true (story about bomb guy), not that she’s a sniper. Some say the airforce did not make the poster.

    I don’t think anyone has said the Air Force actually made the poster.

    Snopes.com says the picture is real, but the story is BS. Her real story is posted on snopes and she is truly an amazing young lady.
