2024 Miss America crown goes to active-duty U.S. Air Force officer
By Alex Sundby

January 15, 2024 / 1:39 PM EST / CBS News


An officer in the U.S. Air Force was crowned Miss America on Sunday night. Second Lt. Madison Marsh is the first active-duty service member to win the annual competition, according to the Air Force.

Marsh represented Colorado, the home of the U.S. Air Force Academy, in the pageant. She graduated from the academy last year with a degree in physics, according to her Miss Colorado bio.

In December, a few weeks before the pageant, Marsh told some fellow airmen before a flight from an Air Force base in Nevada that she was "trying to make it a positive thing for the Air Force, for everyone."
 
Marsh started competing in pageants while attending the academy.

Not to take anything away from her, but I'm curious how she is already a USAF pilot and just 22 years old.  Normally it takes 2 or 3 years to get your wings after the Academy, OCS, or ROTC.  The math doesn't add up...is she just in training?  And where is she going to find the free time to complete her military duties if she is committed to those contractually obligated civilian obligations as Ms. America?

Cockpit pic doesn't do justice.

If this wasn't such a woke outfit, I think they'd have their next recruitment pic riiiiiiight here.

Private pilot's license when she got there, likely.

Read the (impressive) bio. Not just another pretty face.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
