KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AFMCNS) -- Airman Vanessa Dobos, 58th Training Squadron here, will be the Air Force’s first female aerial gunner when she graduates from her technical school in a few weeks. As a gunner and member of a search and rescue crew on the H-60 helicopter, she’ll perform a combat duty that was formerly closed to women in the Air Force. Dobbs said she follows the philosophy an instructor told her, "A gunner's a gunner, don't think you're special because you're a female." Her first duty station will be Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

Good thing the Air Force isn't quite as invested in gender sterotypes as you are. :-)

I stand corrected. I would personally like to apologize to Airman Dobos, since it is my personal policy not to piss off any woman who can shoot over 200 rounds per minute. Sorry Maggie, but you're under the limit.
