FORT JACKSON, S.C. — Pfc. Tiffany DeAndress, a dental hygienist with Charlie Med, 303rd Personnel Services Battalion, has an impressive rack, friends say. And her friends also tell Duffel Blog that DeAndress often fields questions about how her rack was built so quickly.

“Sure, I didn’t have these when I enlisted, but yes, they’re real,” said DeAndress.

Inspections are the worst. AR 670-1 allows for nameplates and ribbons to be adjusted to conform to the differences in the soldier’s body, but sometimes they still look unnatural.

“In just about every inspection, I find myself saying, ‘Do they look like they’re sagging, Sgt. Maj? Yes, of course, permission to touch,’” said DeAndress, gesturing just above her top button.

The Bronze Stars get the most attention of the full complement filling out her Class A’s.
