Is SGT Kayci Landes a Trailblazer for being the first female to reenlist as a Cavalry Scout (19d) ?

26K

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?

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.
