while the pentagon opened more combat

00:06.730 --> 00:08.841
positions to women on the front lines

00:08.841 --> 00:10.897
earlier this year , Some airmen have

00:10.897 --> 00:12.730
already taken to breaking gender

00:12.730 --> 00:14.730
barriers . Staff Sergeant brad Kash

00:14.730 --> 00:17.550
explains . Technical Sergeant Diana

00:17.550 --> 00:19.717
Gwynne , by her own admission , didn't

00:19.717 --> 00:22.620
grow up your typical girly girl . If I

00:22.630 --> 00:24.797
wanted to skateboard , my parents were

00:24.797 --> 00:26.908
like , they weren't like little girls

00:26.908 --> 00:29.019
don't skateboard , it was okay , kind

00:29.019 --> 00:31.241
of skateboard . So when it came time to

00:31.241 --> 00:30.870
make an important decision about her

00:30.870 --> 00:33.650
future , all options were on the table

00:33.660 --> 00:35.604
when I saw what I was eligible for

00:35.604 --> 00:37.800
after taking as valve use on it . And

00:37.800 --> 00:39.856
it was like , well , what do they do

00:39.856 --> 00:41.967
here ? And you know , you get to blow

00:41.967 --> 00:44.022
stuff up and get , you know , you're

00:44.022 --> 00:45.856
not behind a desk . And that was

00:45.856 --> 00:47.856
immediately attracted to me . Now ,

00:47.856 --> 00:49.633
after several deployments as an

00:49.633 --> 00:51.744
explosive ordinance disposal member ,

00:51.744 --> 00:53.856
she has proved through her dedication

00:53.856 --> 00:55.633
to the job that you did and the

00:55.633 --> 00:57.800
military as a whole isn't just a man's

00:57.800 --> 00:59.911
world reporting from Southwest Asia .
