From LSU to GI DJ in Baghdad...

From another board I frequent - www.edodo.org/rumormill :

Full CBS News story, paraphrased below:

"...It's a long way from Louisiana to Baghdad, and it's a long way from a sorority house to a little radio station in the Iraqi capital.

But, reports co-anchor Harry Smith on The Early Show Thursday, Army Specialist Kristen King has the patter and personality to make soldiers far from home feel like they're listening to the girl next door.

She left Louisiana State University and her sorority house to join the Army. Now, after only a month on Armed Forces Radio in the Iraqi capital, King is already one of the troops' favorite disc jockeys.

"In high school," the Shreveport, La. native told Smith, "I was a dancer and a cheerleader, and a sorority girl in college. So, when I picked up and joined the Army, (people said to me), 'Are you crazy?' Never in a million years would I have thought I would be in the Army, much less in Iraq doing a radio show for 100,000-plus troops. So, it's pretty awesome."


Story in The Stars and Stripes


Anyone know what sorority she's in?

Good for her. Following in the footsteps of Pat Sajak (sp?) from Armed Forces Radio in Vietnam.
