SAN ANTONIO - "Drop and give me 20!" is something you might hear Air Force Staff Sgt. Michelle Manhart yell to airmen trainees at Lackland Air Force Base. Drop her trousers is what Manhart did for Playboy magazine, and now it's landed her in trouble with the military.

"Of what I did, nothing is wrong so I didn't anticipate anything of course," Manhart said Thursday of the pictorial. "I didn't do anything wrong so I didn't think it would be a major issue."

In a six-page spread in February's issue, hitting newsstands this week, Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline "Tough Love." The following pages show her partially clothed wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.

Manhart, 30, who is married with two children, has been relieved of her duties pending an investigation, according to Lackland AFB spokesman Oscar Balladares.

女性専用車両 - Women Only Train Section

2007-01-12 | Weblog
昨日の朝の出勤で間違って女性専用車両に乗ってしまいました。

都営新宿線は朝９時発までの新宿行きの一号車が女性専用車だと聞いていたけれども
僕が乗ったのは9:11AM、大丈夫なはず。

快適：混んでないし、人の熱気でムットしてないし。
で、ほのかに車両内はいい匂いがするし。（オヤジ！）
それに僕以外に男性一人も乗っていたし。
大丈夫なはず。

でもよく車両内のサインを読むと、何？
乗ってきた時間ではなく、その電車の最初の駅の出発時間が９時までだったら女性専用車？？
ゲゲ！？

乗ってから三つ目の駅で慌てて違う車両に乗り換えました。
こっちは最悪：混みこみ、熱い、男の汗臭い。
で、車両のアナウンス。やっぱり一番号車が女性専用車だった。

一号車を覗いてみると若い男性一人が目をつぶってiPodを聞いている。
そして何気なく彼の周りの女性が彼にキツイ目線…可哀想。

In Japan, some train lines have a particular train section reserved only for women.
This is mainly to prevent groping incidents that unfortunately occur pretty frequently.

Well during yesterday morning’s rush hour to work, I ended up riding in one by mistake.

I have heard that the Toei Shinjuku train line has the number one car reserved for women only
for all cars headed for Shinjuku that take off before 9AM.
However, I boarded at 9:11AM so should be okay.

Fantastic: it was not crowded, did not have the heat from overcrowded rides from the past.
And there was a pleasant faint sweet smell of lady’s perfumes.
Besides, there was another guy besides myself in the car.
I should be okay.

But wait. After I read the onboard sign closely, it’s not the time you board the train.
It’s the time the train leaves its first station!

Although I had already ridden past three stations, I quickly transferred to another car at the next stop.
This one was terrible: packed, very hot and humid, and smelled like a men’s gym locker room.
Just then, there was an announcement that INDEED the first car is a women’s only car.

I peered over to the first car and saw the other guy sitting amongst a bunch of women that gave him the death stare.
He was deep in his music from his iPod with his eyes closed so he was neither aware of the stabbing stares or the announcement.
Poor soul.
