I read about her in the book "Band of Sisters", very interesting woman, saved many lives on the ground. Funny part was that they other pilots called her "Junk" ... as in junk in the trunk. She has her own book now called "Zero to Breakthrough", I gotta check it out. God bless you Vernice! Thank you for your service!
I dont get it, they scream "Equality" and "We dont want to be treated any different", but they still want the fuss made over them by everyone and the excitement etc... Takes the accomplishment right out if. True professionals dont want accolades or big noteing, they just get on with the job quietly and away form the lime-light.
@19Truth53 Yeah, really smart people like YOU, right? Think YOU could fly a Cobra? Didn't think so. If you have no use for the military then you shouldn't be using the internet, they invented it, douchebag.
The jet engine is an invention. The Harrier is simply a jet with a diffeerent configuration, I wouldn't call it an invention per say. The Harrier had mechanical problems that the US marines corps dropped it for for an American-made aircraft.
the harrier jump jet is a British invention and should not be on here, Fuck America and there shit army that can't even win a war against a few farmers with sticks.
The title on this video (the blue screen title at the start) is stupid. It calls her the "first african americn female pilot in history" which is ridiculous, she isn't the first by a long shot. (Look up Bessie Coleman in the 1920s)
Just putting "combat" into that sentence (combat pilot) would have made it a useful informative flash screen about the video to follow... rather than a stupid falsehood which is what it actually is as it stands.
You are correct. The blue title page should have read:1st African American female naval aviator in the US Marine Corps & America's 1st African American female combat pilot in US military history. But that would be a long title. Thank you for your time.
1factoid you need therapy. I truly feel sorry for you. I hope you find some happiness in this life because it seems that you are a bitter failure who cannot appreciate or congratulate others who are doing well. Stop being a hater its bad for your health.
Is there anyone, other than the few obvious fawning fools, who believes reverse-discrimination Affirmative Action did NOT play a part in this? The reality is that the powerful and mendacious unfairness of AA puts people in places which they would never achieve on their merit along, and this is a prime case. How many other White Men were passed over so that Aunt Jemimah here could "live her dream"? One day some slick "terrorist" is going to plant a missile up her black ass.
2. Either zero or one (her "black ass" fills one seat)
She seems motivated, articulate and competent, whereas you just sound frustrated and resentful. All the energy you spend preaching this confused sense of entitlement could really be applied towards something more constructive. Then maybe you could be featured in a news story about something other than racism.
I'm talking facts, SIMPLE MATH and PERCENTAGES. What's the chance that an out-of-the-blue 'Black Female' will outdo the vast numbers of White Males/females) vying for the same position? Possible? Just barely!. Probable? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I know lots of "articulate" idiots (Al Sharpton). "Motivation" without real talent & "motivation" goes nowhere. "Competent" says who? Sorry, I'm still not impressed.
GREAT! You go right ahead and "fight next to her," DUMBASS! I'll be sure to assemble the search party to find your fucking dogtags when the shooting stops!
A person with comments like those has never been in service nor do you have the knowledge of the requirements that it takes to be one of the elite do you think the USMC or any other branch will give away an aircraft worth millions of dollars to someone that is not qualified for the job NO regardless of affirmative action if you are qualified you will get the slot and if you are not then you are not and if she is a USMC pilot then she RIGHTLY DESERVES TO BE REGARDLESS OF SKIN COLOR
The press continues to neglect the other black female pilot that was in the squadron at the same time because.....she was competent and focused on her job vice seeking every opportunity to increase media exposure or expand a list of firsts. Be wary of speaking tours and shiny websites absent peer endorsement.

It's about time these boons started actually giving back to this country what they've taken. Obviously this girl's got talent, but I still wonder just how much of this his hype? She graduated 1st in her class!? Yeah, uh huh. That must have been one lame class.
Cool. I thought there was a Female (Black female) F-16 pilot in the USAF at one point...? I am surprised that there is only one black female pilot in the US Military.

"Cool"? You think this is "cool"? Are you nuts! You don't think this is a propaganda ploy? You think this whore really should be at the controls of a combat helicopter? You think affirmative action isn't in play here? The Marines have degraded into the WORST panderers of minorities. They've got Marines who can barely speak English. Don't believe this cunt was on any dangerous mission, either. The Marines aren't going to sacrifice their pet PR monkey!
Marines ? Affirmative action? Listen to her interview CLOSER. She made a choice out of her family's legacy. She wasn't placed. Definately by the Marines. 1st in her class? Even if the class was only 5 members deep, that is still a feat. This BLACK civilian pilot knows.
The Marines is the most PC of the Affirmative Action Services. They are NOT the Marines of Iwo Jima any more. The Navy Department falls all over themselves to promote minorities ever since the hoaxed 'Tail Hook.!

Ohhhh, so 'PATRIOTIC' of you to say that! Let me wipe the tears away from my cheek! And pardon me while I PUKE! I know full well what a REAL MARINE is, and SHE AIN'T IT!!! She's nothing but an AFFIRMATIVE ACTION QUEEN
stfu. a Marine is a Marine. Chesty puller will tell you that. from a cook to a grunt every Marine a rifle men. now say your sorry to the Corps for that stupid ass saying. it's ppl like her that keeps the Marines on the ground one less person to worry about.

Hey, I got your "apology" right HERE, motherfucker! Go crawl up her black ass and eat the corn out of her shit for all I care. And while I'm at it can't you fucking "Marines" keep your porch-monkeys in line? Just heard where ANOTHER "Marine" got a few years for sexual abuse of an Okinawan 14 yr. old. How many hapless Japanese on Okinawa does that make, you fucking Jar-headed cocksucker!? You go right ahead and crawl in a hole with that AA cunt, DUMBASS! I'll send out the search party to find you
hey dumbass you do know the Charges were droped against that Marine maybe if you read the NEWS alittle more an that was over 2 mounths ago wake up!. then again I see you just a liberal with nothing to say about your life.
NO, this most recent one has NOT been dismissed yet. Oh, but I'm sure it will because you fucking Jar-Heads make a gargantuan effort to tell everyone how you shit-heels 'Stick up for one another,' etc. I'm sure the MILITARY will take this out of the hands of the legitimate Japanese law enforcement and whitewash the entire thing just like the other Marine abuses to hapless civilians around the world. And people wonder why we're so hated. Do us a favor and stop "PROTECTING" US!
your problem is not one of marines or military it is humanity itself I sure was angry when i heard that but to just go out and blame everyone like that is not appropriate there are ppl all over the world capable of doing worst things and that is a problem but there are also ppl capable of doing even better things.
OORAHH hard charger!! Up up and away is the only route for you my friend! I am not only proud of you, but proud of what you do. Way to stay true to what God has planned. Keep on sharing that wonderful gift you have! Love ya man!

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we enjoy flying an aeroplane?
(2) What does flying and aviation mean to females?
(3) Why do girls want to fly high and become a pilot? (eg. express her talent)
(4) Through flying, what have female pilots proved and demonstrated to the world? or, What kind of social value(s) have female pilots brought up?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
