She was a total Blast!

We sit down with the trailblazer The First Lady of EOD- Explosive Ordinance Disposal. She was the first female to graduate EOD school and become a bomb technician and breaking barriers under pressure.

Combat Veteran, Bronze Star, first ever female to achieve the highest enlisted rank of Chief Master Sergeant.

She tells us how her nails and bobby pins are some unusual, surprisingly, effective EOD tools.

We discussed what women were doing in the AF in the 1970s and how she blew through the glass ceiling.

We get her take on The Hurt Locker movie and her stories from communicating with First Lady Barbara Bush!
