Meetings- Kelly's take charge!

Hey Gang,

So we last left off with Phyliss Kelly jumping in! She is now meeting with Etienne
to get a handle on the base.  The base is still under construction so they are meeting
in one of the odd rooms.

Etienne:  I just want to say how happy I am to have you here!  This is my first time
having an admin.  I don't really know what all you will or can do.

Phyliss: Really!  What did you do before?

Etienne: You might know our unit was in action in the Middle East for a while,
we then went from Texas to Europe for six months.  I didn't need a real admin before.
I have just risen to my new rank as General.  Prior to that... well...between Trina and
I we handled everything. Well...mostly Trina. She did her work and some of mine!
Hmm, I should do something as a thank you.

Phyliss: I will take care of that for you sir!  She was nice enough to give me a list 

of what you were working on and what still needs to be done.  Oh, there is some 

info on what has been done for the unit in the past. As you know I worked with 

General Lee and his admin Flora.  I even covered for her when she was on vacation. 

I think I have a handle on what is needed but I can always contact Flora

if I get stuck.

Oh, and I'll need your wife's info too!  

 Is she excited about her role as the base commander's wife?

Etienne: I have thought about that!  I haven't mentioned it to her!  I know that
the commander's wives did parties and stuff.

Phyliss: Sir, they do more that just that!

Etienne: Really?
Phyliss: Oh yes sir!  Maybe I can have a talk with her and feel her out about
how active she will be.

Etienne: OK, I know she wants to come by tomorrow to meet you. She asked
if you might be free for lunch?
Phyliss: Tell her that would be wonderful!

So it looks like there will be an Air Force reserve unit, a medical unit, a air traffic 

control unit, a flight and porter units.  What units will there be on the Army side? 

Etienne: What Army side?

Phyliss: Sir, didn't they send you the specs on this base sir?  She pulls out
the manual she was sent.
Etienne: No! I still waiting for somethings to catch up with me from Europe.

Phyliss: We are the main armed forces branch but there will be a presence 

from all the branches here. The will be a large, thou not as large as us, Army 

presents here too.  They aren't schedule to come for a while.  It will be important 

for us to...establish the best..uh...most strategic presents here sir.  I get on the 

phone and make sure all intell is here for your review sir!

Etienne: I might have needed an admin sooner!

So I know I need to fix Phyliss's hair.  I will get to that this year too!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

GI Jane

GI Jane

I have been meaning to finish this post and put it up for a long time. Thanks Roxanne's Doll for giving me the push I needed.

My other female action figure( I have two) is GI Jane. I bought her on eBay a few years back. She is the action figure from the 1999 release Vietnam Nurse Set including:12" GI Jane, Boony Cap, Dog Tags, T-Shirt, Shirt, Pants, Boots, Stethoscope, Gauze Strips, IV Unit, Splints and Medical Pouch. She came new in the box. Here she is in her original uniform minus tee and boots. It isn't the standard issue camouflage that most soldiers wear today. I don't know if the had camis in Vietnam area.



She is shorter than most of the other adult dolls in my collection.


Aya for scale!

I like her because she is so different. She has a short Afro but I thought she needed some bangs to soften her up. She has wide hips so she can't fit Barbie clothes. She can fit Ken pants. I have one pair of female doll pants that she can fit.


Dolls laughing!



She also can't fit Barbie shoe or most doll shoes because she has wide flat feet(Ken size, sorry no picture.). Oh my goodness, is she in need of a pedicure! This girl has got some bad looking dogs! I have had to be creative regarding her off duty outfits. She need to be one of the girls too from time to time. She is single so she needs date outfits. Not every woman is meant to wear a mini dress (I could tell you some stories but this is not the place) and neither are most female action figures. They need a little more help with their wardrobe than BB Barbie.



Here she is in a black prairie skirt ( a good length and style for her) sweater and (Ken's) cowboy boots. I might add a belt later. This is one of her favorite outfits. My aunts always say "unless you have a very cute face, short hair always needs earring to make it look better". I have added these hoop earrings to soften her up. I have also added eyelashes and bangs with eyebrow pencil. I will live with it and see if I like it. If I do ,then I will make it permanent.


Her name is Phyliss Kelly or Lt. Kelly, BSN and she is going out
with someone she just met who is also in the military.
