This fronting seems to be AF wide unless you're a pilot or a TACP/JTAC. O's gonna O. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: With no dick? I'm stunned. Is that even legal? This is 100% the choice of an organization trying to keep itself from dying. White, straight, female, active military winner from flyover country? Or maybe they got paid. Like how recruitment ads suddenly show white men doing manly things again. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, I met her back in 2019 when I went back for my class reunion. She was just a freshman then, but she put out a vibe that you could tell she was going places. And yes, very much an OEM female….despite being hidden under the uniform at the time. That now makes two USAFA grads that i know who went to the Kennedy school at Harvard. Not the greatest pedigree you know. Military academy post Obama and then Harvard. |

She has no rank on her shoulder, so that is a loner flight suit. Took a lot of googling: Commissioned in 2023 and is 22 years old so no way she is an AF pilot. Found an article with other pics from “familiarization flight” saying the she would soon be starting flight school. That’s why her shit doesn’t fit and looks brand new. She presumably was a cadet at the time. She does have her private pilot license. Saying she is “training to be a top gun” is comical at best, I hope the reporter made that line up! Her Wikipedia page is all about miss America and only has 1 sentence about the AF. The army has rules about letting people get out who come into money, get famous, or get knocked up because the thought is that the Army will no longer be their priority in life. Whatever, good for her, maybe they can use her to help recruiting. |

No you can’t get fast tracked for being a civilian pilot. This is a classic example of a bullshit article. Some headline says pilot. AF Officer and shows a pic of her in the back seat of an F-16 and or standing in front of one and other news articles now say she is a fighter pilot and mixing up AF and Navy terms. There is no AF Top Gun. There may be a top of the pilot training class, but the term Top Gun is a very specific Navy Training school, and label. It doesn’t work like that either. You don’t get a slot for fighter pilot training until you complete the first part of pilot training and you are put into a track. She may not even graduate from pilot training, lots of people don’t for various reasons. Journalists no longer fact check anything. Half of what they write is just flat out wrong. She is probably embarrassed by all this bad info. She has plenty of accomplishments that set her apart, I don’t see why the media has to get so much wrong when the things she has already done are far and above most of her peers already. They should sing those praises instead of making shit up. She will probably take shit when she does get to pilot training due to all the untrue bullshit in the media about her. I wish her luck. It is a demanding path she is on and I wish her success. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It doesn't say that. Next week, you guys will have Trump considering her to be the next Sec of Defense. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: This article says she's currently in Top Gun school. I have no idea if that is realistic. If you already have a pilot's license, can you get fast tracked in the AF? https://www.ibtimes.sg/who-madison-marsh-us-air-force-pilot-training-be-top-gun-also-first-active-duty-officer-vying-73058 It doesn't say that. Next week, you guys will have Trump considering her to be the next Sec of Defense. It does specifically say she I a fighter pilot. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It does not look like she is a pilot. Those are not pilot wings. I don’t know what type of wings those are either. Not WSO wings. Looks like she is sitting in the back of an F-15E Maybe an incentive ride? Her flight suit is too loose. Her gloves are too big. She has no rank on her shoulder, so that is a loner flight suit. I don’t know what she does, but I don’t think she sits in the back of a mud hen as a job. ETA. Those are enlisted aircrew Reaper wings, so she does something with the reaper program. The flight suit photo has a name tag for "Ms Colorado." She was "Ms Colorado" while a cadet at USAFA. I am guessing they are photos taken while she was a cadet. There's a Guardian article showing her getting ready in the same uniform for an fam flight at Nellis in a Viper: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12963441/Miss-Colorado-makes-history-serving-soldier-crowned-Miss-America-Air-Force-pilot-22-training-Gun-fighter-pilot-graduating-Harvard.html I would wager its a silly non regulation cadet name tag and the wings are meaningless -- perhaps a gift even from someone who didn't know the difference. Because no cadet has ever worn anything slightly out of regs, ever before.  As a 2LT I'd expect her to be en route to UPT. She is a commissioned officer with a private pilot's license and has a pilot slot per the Guardian. While PA is stretching a bit and she may not yet be a fully qualified military pilot it seems technically accurate to call her a pilot. |
