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.

That's the other interesting bio in the piece. I dunno, I bet that could have shown up back in my high school group-- all guys, of course.

One suspects that you'll get more women in the 'lighter' jobs - as in overall body strength required - and more men in the 'heavier ones'.

@Adm. Lee: She might have been in the batch of refugees that the US agreed to take in the late 1970s from the USSR?
