Female MRAP driver
Air Force Senior Airman Kayla Manning, 732nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, Detachment 2, sits at the wheel of her Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle before heading out on a mission, Camp Stryker, Iraq, March 27, 2010. To enter this life-saving vehicle, Kayla has to place one knee on the MRAPs steps to hoist her weight upward to climb the remainder of the way into the driver’s cab. Despite a stature of just 5 feet 2 ½ inches, she possess the power, control, and confidence of someone twice her size. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Trish Bunting/Released)
