This is a first! One of the favored contestants in the 2008 Miss America pageant is a Sergent in the Army.
Miss Utah, also know as Sgt Jill Stevens serves in the Utah National Guard's 1st Battalion, 211th Aviation Regiment and attended nursing school at Southern Utah University. If that isn't enough, this amazing woman has been deployed to Afghanistan, caring for the troops over there and is a marathon runner, completing 12 so far.
If this GI Jill can't get her fellow troops motivated, I don't know if anyone can.
Sgt Stevens has a blog running about her experiences as she "fights" for the title of Miss AMerica. It can be found at http://www.army.mil/gijill/.
