Sgt. Maj. Teresa L. King Becomes First Woman to be Top Drill Sergeant.

No woman has ever run one of the army's rigorous shools for drill instructors. Today, Sgt King becomes the first. Accd. to NYT's just 8% of the active-duty Army's highest ranking enlisted soldiers are women--even though more than 13% of Army personnel are female. Prohibitions against women serving in combat is cited as one reason for this discrepency. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/22/us/22sergeant.html?th&emc=th
