Retired US Army Aviator Jana Tobias<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KoB sends in the latest from a fan favorite, the Pin-ups for Vets Calendar<\/a>. Among this year’s twelve lovely ladies is retired Army Black Hawk pilot Jana Tobias. Fox News<\/a> has a bit about her;<\/p>\n

Jana Tobias was eager to suit up in a completely different way.<\/p>\n

The veteran, who served in the Army as a Black Hawk pilot, is one of 12 women who swapped their uniforms and combat boots for \u201840s style dresses and high heels, for the 16th annual Pin-Ups for Vets 2022 calendar. The award-winning nonprofit, founded in 2006 by California resident Gina Elise, raises funding to support hospitalized and deployed troops.<\/p>\n

“I try to follow as many veteran organizations as possible,” Tobias told Fox News. “I came across Pin-Ups for Vets on Facebook and I was just intrigued. I\u2019ve always loved the 1940s, not because of the clothes, but really the nose art. I\u2019m in aviation, so that has always fascinated me. It was also a time when our country was going through hardship and war. And yet, we as Americans did whatever was possible to motivate and uplift our troops, so they can keep going. I felt like I could contribute.”<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old\u2019s journey is one made fit for the silver screen. As a child, she was enamored with G.I. Joe and the 1984 action film “Red Dawn,” about how a group of teenagers band together to defend their country from invading Soviet forces.<\/p>\n

“I grew up with four brothers,” she chuckled. “My father always treated me like one of the boys. He didn\u2019t treat me special because I was a girl. He taught me everything, including fishing, camping, hiking \u2013 whatever else my brothers were doing. We also wrestled. I felt like I could do anything that my brothers could do. My father also served at the National Guard so service was essential in my family.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
