My girls are in blindages.
My girls sometimes die under fire.
My girls are in the ambulances and stabilization points, stopping the bleeding and saving others.
My girls evacuate wounded, donate, fundraise, drive to the front with heavy boxes, weave camo nets, buy old trucks, pack IFAKs, buy weapons.
My girls wear camo and bury friends.
I’m proud and honored to have all these women in my life 🫡

Being both very nosy and a metro employee means anytime I hear folks sharing a metro related frustration i will casually insert myself, ask follow up questions, show them how to use @hubNashville and then connect them to their CM 😬😬😬
