Patti Gomez-Michalkow; Mrs. New York, Guard veteran
The newly-crowned Mrs. New York representing Syracuse, is Patti Gomez-Michalkow, a New York National Guard veteran according to the New York Post;
“There’s no talent portion of the competition since we’re a Mrs. category, but we did talk about special talents. Mine is shooting 300-meter targets,” she cracked, adding that she can also bang out 38 push-ups in two minutes to meet the standard Army fitness test.
Her contract with the Guard ran out just a few days before she took the crown, but Gomez-Michalkow is still keeping busy.
The dynamo works full-time as a senior marketing manager for M&D Financial, and regularly volunteers with a number of veterans charities.
Her schedule is so demanding that she’s had to put her pursuit of a Harvard master’s degree in international relations on hold for the time being.
Among the veterans organizations she works with is Homes for Our Troops, which builds specially customized, mortgage-free houses for seriously disabled veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

IDC SARC to the courtesy phone please
No bad non-pc jokes about serving under her !
*GRUNT!*
That is one nice walking stick.
I wonder if she carved it herself.
Walking stick? Where?
I, I, I ain’t goin’ to say to, to, to, no, no, no, nothin’.
E-4 for life!
She’s one of our finest!
THAT is the E-4 Mafia I’ve heard so much about? My, my…
The Young lady was on Fox last week. What a nice person.
Another one of those horrible people whose life was in such shambles and who was so ignorant that choosing to serve in the military was her only choice. (Sarc, of course)
Well done Patti. WELL DONE!!! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments and for being such a fabulous example to all
She is really fit…
That uniform looks mighty tight.
The bikini is a TA50 item?
I accept your challenge and since you asked, Yes, a bikini (sort of) is a CTA 50-900 issue item./smile
Now, keep in mind that TA-50 items are listed by LIN (Line Item Number) and not by FSN/NSN.
But the closest I could get are sorted by:
LIN/CIF Nomenclature/Commonly Called
DA2595/Brassiere/Sports Bra
YY1973/Groin Protector Car/ACU Pattern IBA Groin Protector Carrier
See, with a little research, one can find that the Army has everything you ever needed or wanted at the CIF Issue Point./smile
I should know by now to never challenge a Supply Sgt. SFC Todd (my S4 NCOIC in ’64) is laughing right now.
Well, you have said (in the past) that I was a clone of SFC Todd. Thanx for that. Proud to have been thought of in that way.
Todd?, Hmmm, Todd? That name sounds really familiar. Might have had morning coffee with him in the mess hall while doing a little horse-trading of “controlled items” back in the old days when the Army was still issuing a “rubber lady” as a TA-50 item./smile
John Todd. 82nd Signal BN in ’64-65 era. Wonder how many times I got the answer to my question on how we made up a shortage: “Don’t ask sir.”
My supply sgt. in the Viet of the Nam knew how to get any inanimate object in the country. He once traded three or four cases of LRRP rations for four or five pallets of 60mm mortar ammo, which was not authorized for issue to US units because they weren’t supposed to have 60mm mortars. We had one because we inherited it from the Marines’ 1st Recon Battalion.
Just 38 push ups, talk about the minimum. Lol
That 38 was getting in the way.
I don’t think she has to flex her arms very much for her chest to touch. I call cheat! :p
Bounces up on each rep. Definitely cheating.
She really IS a busy bee. Ah, but can she cook?
Well, congratulations, anyway, Mrs. New York.
Samich is all that is required.
Mrs, formerly SPC, Gomez-Michalkow’s honorable service has paid for her citizenship and the citizenship of several other of our non-serving fellow citizens. I applaud her service and her accomplishments. regards, Alemaster
An easy deployment 11/10. What a stack if you know what I mean. 😻

Morse code for fap,fap,fap,fap?
Nope, can’t be. It’s just the letter S repeated four times.
Gotta be something else. Don’t leave us hanging, 11B./smile
….
….
Sorry. What?
(Speechless)
Ah, OK. Got it now.
Still can’t figure it out.
Now you’ve repeated the letter H twice.
What’s up with that?/smile
Who is that lucky bastard who is her husband? He sure must have done something very good to enjoy this level of the good karma.
Just listened to her phone interview when Lars Larson had her on his radio show this past Good Friday.
Sounds like shes got it all together.
Best of Luck to her in the upcoming Mrs. America competition and perhaps even the Mrs. Universe if she makes it that far.
On a more humorous note….
Anyone else see those pictures,and hear the 70s-vintage theme from Wonder Woman?
Would she not look great in the Linda Cater ‘WW’ outfit?
… (ellipsis. Can be used to indicate a conversational pause, thus my above joke that misfired a bit.)

How many of us saw that TV show and said “Make the wings flap! Make the wings flap!”
“…(ellipsis.) Conversational pause
I was reading/thinking in Morse.
We be good, 11B.
