The Naked Truth Is
...yes, you did.
Sergeant in trouble for Playboy photos
Air Force blasts her steamy pictorial as ‘not representative’ of service"Drop and give me 20!" is something you might hear Air Force Staff Sgt. Michelle Manhart yell to airmen trainees at Lackland Air Force Base. Drop her trousers is what Manhart did for Playboy magazine, and now it's landed her in trouble with the military.
"Of what I did, nothing is wrong so I didn't anticipate anything, of course," Manhart said Thursday of the pictorial. "I didn't do anything wrong so I didn't think it would be a major issue."
You were fine doing anything the photographer wanted and that your little heart desired, right up to this part...
...In a six-page spread in February's issue, hitting newsstands this week, Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline "Tough Love." The following pages show her partially clothed wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.
Your uniform doesn't belong in Playboy. And that's where they're gonna get you. Years ago Playboy did a 'Women of the Services' feature and the only one in any piece of her actual uniform was the WM. Guess who was the only one out of all those girls to be charged?
Exactly.
Sorry.

As a humble citizen, I salute all of our fine armed forces in uniform. Or out of it, as the case may be

Exactly is right. But I wouldn't be sorry....as an NCO she ought to know better.
Oh, well, she'll get some fine publicity out of this.

The dope SAYS she wants it to lead to acting, etc. jobs. OMG.
But searches for her are blowing our site stats out of the water so SOMEONE's paying attention.
Or just looking for the glossies...

She is in the Air Force, Jeff.

Cullen's got a point there.
In the Air Force it stands for "NO Concept Of..."

True, true, she is Air Force. Although I know at least AF colonel who would have crucified her.
OTOH, I know of at least two company officers in the Aif Force who would have asked her for a date.
