Here's an interesting article on the topic. The featured individual's bio sounds made up. I imagine that if a T2K player tried to pass of her backstory for his/her PC, much eye-rolling would ensue. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
"In college, she was a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader before she commissioned as a U.S. Army intelligence officer."

Methinks you'd see a lot of this sort of person in a WWIII scenario, even back in the mid-80's when T2K was created.
