1st CAV's First female "Top Gun"

Congratulations go to Maj. Chrissy Cook on her qualification as Top Gun!

Now my question? Since I am Navy and not sure of how Army does things all the time need a little clarification please. Is it normal in the Army for a Major to Command a crew of 3? Or is this a special case where she is in Command of a large group of Bradleys and this is just her COmmand Vehicle and the Group? Squadron? Commander also Commands and fights her own vehicle? Just wondering. Thanks.

Kudos to MAJ Cook and her crew, yes her crew deserves just as much credit as she does. Yes its groundbreaking that she is the first female to command a qualified bradley crew, but have shot a few gunneries, being a man does not provied a destinct advantage, infact the generally smaller stature of a female's body might actually be an advantage in the confines of a bradley turret. Anywho, again my congratulations to her and her crew but honestly theres bigger things to focus on in the Army than a feel good story.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised! Good job ma'am :)
