        The Real Miss America.

 

            There's a Proud Papa out there somewhere. :Clap:


 :coffee: .....
This 19 year old ex-cheerleader now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper, was watching a road in Pakistan that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target (she shot him).

 
 :popcorn: ..
It turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a U.S. patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.

 

The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards. She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot went through his rectum and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to pieces. The Air Force made a motivational poster of her. (Folks, that's a shot 25 yards longer than seven football fields) and the last thing that came out of his mouth ... was his ass!

Good question Leech :happy1:

Senior Airman Polly-Jan Bobseine, 823rd Security Forces Squadron fire team member, takes aim behind a M-24 Sniper Rifle to hone her close precision engagement skills during proficiency weapons training at a deployed location. Airman Bobseine was chosen out of more than 270,000 enlisted Airmen as one of the Air Force’s 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year.

Origins:   The “motivational poster” aspect of this item is merely a bit of creative fiction inspired by a photograph, but the woman pictured below, Senior Airman Polly-Jan Bobseine, is indeed a Security Forces Squadron fire team member with the U.S. Air Force (USAF).

The original photograph and its USAF-assigned caption are as shown below:
