Sergeant Kayci Landes, of I Corps' 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, 7th Infantry Division, makes Army history as the first female to reenlist as 19D, Cavalry Scout.
Do you consider her a trailblazer and will this encourage more females to follow suit?

Well SGM Matthew Quick If she goes to a Bradley unit the bar has been set.

1st Cavalry female leads crew to historic 'Top Gun' gunnery title
Maj. Chrissy Cook made history in the 1st Cavalry Division two weeks ago when she led her Bradley crew to "Top Gun" status during gunnery, making her the first female Bradley commander to do so.

SN Greg Wright - Very apparent you are not familiar with BB&T gunnery. The highest qualifying crew in each battalion is referred to as the Top Gun.

No I do not believe she is a trailblazer. She is a soldier and a NCO. She is a standard bearer. The trail has already been blazed by the ranger school graduates. Now these females are just stepping up and taking charge. I'm all for opening it up for females but we need to also get off of the political correctness that is facing us today. Worry about the real issues. Equiptment and personnel shortages across the front.

Exactly how I feel Sir, just leave her alone and let her do her job. By giving her all this attention it make things even harder for her.

Well it is definitely a first. Eventually when all MOSs are integrated the "Firsts" will go away.

By definition she would be a Trailblazer. Whether or not she will encourage other females is yet to be seen.

SGM Matthew Quick oh lord no I wouldn't encourage more! Why encourage them into 19D when I can encourage them into an 11 series's. I'm not one of those "everybody is a winner" types. 19D is just settling for second best!
I kid! Just a friendly jest.
If the soldier believes they can do the job. Physically and mentally capable and has the desire to do it. then hell ya we should support them in getting there anyway they can.
