Bridesmaid

Christina Burks


Where does the story begin? Christina was Neshia's drill sergeant in AIT. She was the meanest and toughest drill sergeant to date. She did not play! She always pushed females in the Army to strive for excellence. She pushed all soldiers, and she did not allow excuses. Christina's favorite slogan was, "I earned this on my chest, and you are going to respect it!" What was on her chest was her rank. She was mean, lean fighting machine. Today she is as sweet as she wants to be with the softest voice. Oh, and only she would get this joke. Expletives!!
