Now experts want the Army to reopen Covid NIGHTINGALE hospitals to prop up the failing NHS
I’m an army girl – when I’m not in uniform I wear bikinis, compete in pageants, and dress up like a Playboy bunny
ONE California woman is redefining what it means to be a bombshell in the military.
Itzel Hernandez, a solider in the U.S. Army, has certainly made it on a few men’s radars after showing what she looks like when she’s off duty.
Itzel, who lives in California, regularly posts military content on her TikTok.
But she’s not dressed in head-to-toe camo all the time.
In one video, she responded to questions about what she looks like when she’s not in uniform.
First, she shared a few shots of herself at work in fatigues.
She then transitioned to a mirror selfie showing her in a slinky black bikini.
Itzel also included video from a pageant in which she competed, showing herself walking across the stage in a white bikini and matching, flowing cover-up.
A topless hot tub shot was followed by one of her in a full Playboy bunny costume, complete with tight black bodysuit, fishnets, a bow tie, cuffs, and ears.
She even appears to have done some modeling, sharing footage of herself in a stunning white gown and gold angel wings at a photo shot.
The final shot was taken in a car, crown atop her head following a pageant.
“Just like any other girl,” she captioned the clip.
Itzel has received complimentary comments from men and women alike, with one fellow female soldier writing: “Your so beautiful! I look raggedy out of uniform lol.”
Meanwhile, men called her “wifey material,” “goddess,” and the “ultimate woman.”
“Get it hero,” wrote one.
“Didn’t know they let supermodels in the service,” said another.
In other videos, Itzel showed herself dancing in the middle of an obstacle course, goofing around with fellow female soldiers, and kicking back with soldiers in the Mexican Army.

US Army starts testing a modified version of Canoo’s electric pickup truck
Earlier this year, electric vehicle startup Canoo warned it was running low on cash. Since then, the company’s prospects have taken a turn for the better. Over the span of two days in July, Canoo announced separate agreements to provide Walmart with 4,500 EVs and the US Army with a test vehicle. This week, the company shared an update on its Pentagon contract, announcing it had delivered a prototype of its new Light Tactical Vehicle to the army.
The LTV looks like a modified version of Canoo’s pickup truck. According to the company, it incorporated carbon Kevlar to make the vehicle more durable without increasing its weight. The LTV can be converted from a pickup to a flatbed truck, allowing it to carry construction material and tactical equipment. It even includes a stealth configuration. Canoo says the all-wheel drive LTV can produce up to 600 horsepower. It also features air springs, a raised suspension system and 32-inch tires to make it fit for traversing difficult terrain.
The US military is among the biggest polluters on the planet. It has a larger carbon footprint than about 140 nations, including first-world countries like Sweden and Denmark. At the start of 2022, the Defense Department announced a net-zero emissions plan that, among other tactics, called for the army to electrify its combat and support vehicles. While there’s no guarantee Canoo will be part of that initiative, securing the US Army as a customer would be a significant boon for the startup.
Army could be called in to drive ambulances and staff hospitals under emergency plan to save the NHS from winter strikes
THE Army could drive ambulances and stand in for frontline hospital roles under emergency plans to deal with a possible winter of strikes.
Health and defence officials are drawing up a contingency strategy as ambulance drivers and paramedics consider joining nurses on the picket lines in the coming months.

As first reported by the Times, the Government could utilise the military aid to the civil authorities protocol (Maca) to keep key services in the NHS running during major walkouts.
They could also answer 999 calls, in addition to other tasks, the Guardian reported earlier this month.
Maca was used during the coronavirus pandemic to help struggling health staff with vaccines, testing and the delivery of protective equipment.
No formal request for help has been made by the Department of Health and Social Care to the Ministry of Defence.

The last time ambulance drivers went on strike from September 1989 to February 1990, the army, navy and air force all helped to transport patients for medical attention.
Earlier this week union bosses insisted cancer care will not be stopped for nurses’ strikes.
A Government spokeswoman said: “We are working with the NHS on a range of options to manage disruption to health and care services during industrial action.
“Hospitals will do everything they can to ensure patients and the public are kept safe, however planned appointments may need to be cancelled and emergency care prioritised to those in need of urgent care only.”

The prospect of strikes being called off ahead of Christmas appeared bleak, as Transport Secretary Mark Harper said public sector pay rises in line with soaring inflation are “unaffordable”.
The Cabinet minister said there “simply isn’t the money” to meet the demands of workers preparing to take industrial action but hinted at progress in talks over rail strikes.
Mr Harper indicated a change in the mandate for negotiations and said pay rises could come if rail workers accept reforms, after holding “positive” talks with Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union general secretary Mick Lynch.
Nurses are set to stage their first UK-wide strike action next month, as they join transport and postal workers on the picket lines in disputes over pay and conditions.
Mr Harper told Sky’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme: “Inflation-matching or inflation-busting pay rises are unaffordable.
“I think we want to try and give all the workers in the public sector who work very hard decent pay rises, but they can’t be inflation-busting pay rises.
“There simply isn’t the money to pay for those given the context, we haven’t seen those in the private sector either, the private sector pay rises have generally been settled below the level of inflation, which I accept is difficult for people.”
He told the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg that rail bosses “will have the ability to reach a deal”, when pressed about whether they have the mandate to properly negotiate with the RMT.
“But we have to be able to have that reform package negotiated, because it’s only that that throws up the savings,” Mr Harper said.
“I do not have a bottomless pit of taxpayers’ money to throw at this problem.”

Royal College of Nursing (RCN) members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will walk out on December 15 and 20 if the dispute is not resolved.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay has urged the nursing union to “come back to the table” for talks but he is declining to discuss pay, instead wanting to talk about conditions such as pension arrangements, holidays, rosters and the availability of free coffee.
