(Just noticed actual date of photo is Feb. 2016 — article is from March. Anyway, same difference, just noting it!)
USAF Launch Officer practices launching an ICBM, March 2016 — probably not the image you had of a missileer? http://www.afgsc.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/2612/Article/683557/air-force-global-strike-command-exercises-tests-deterrent-options.aspx …pic.twitter.com/7pZiPn9HRb

On March 22 last year, for the first time in USAF history, all the missileers were women (ditto for B-52 crews). http://www.airforcetimes.com/story/military/2016/03/21/air-force-fielding-all-female-icbm-crews-and-b-52-aircrews/82100434/ …pic.twitter.com/aKiLqlDMnn

Not at all the image I'd expected; is that a green flight suit? For all the waiting around for Armageddon I would have expected camo PJs. :)

I always imagined a more high-tech headset and that Armageddon would be started by someone old enough to purchase alcohol.

I heard that the airstrip wasn't even destroyed. Is that true? 50+ million dollars in tax money for nothing.

No cowgirl hat. Amazing how someone who looks like a kid is part of the Armageddon plan, called the Jolly Rogers (on her patch)
