SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) -- An Air Force staff sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been relieved of her duties while the military investigates, officials said Thursday.
In February's issue, hitting newsstands this week, Michelle Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline "Tough Love."
The following pages show her partially clothed, wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.
"This staff sergeant's alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Air Force's core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do," Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said in a statement.
Manhart told Playboy that she considers herself as standing up for her rights.
"Of what I did, nothing is wrong, so I didn't anticipate anything, of course," Manhart, 30, told The Associated Press. "I didn't do anything wrong, so I didn't think it would be a major issue."
Manhart, who is married with two children, joined the Air Force in 1994, spending time in Kuwait in 2002. She trains airmen at Lackland.

Not that I looked further into the matter *ahem*, but her MySpace seems pretty innocuous

All I can say is that my husband would kill me if I ever posted any pics like that, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. No way, dude. What I've got is for his eyes only, and that's the way it should be.
Man, you could poke your eyes out with those things ....

I don't really know why, but I'm more curious on what the magazine ended up making her look like. It's like normal (not drunk) \ after (drunk..everything's fuzzy and she looks way hotter than she did an hour ago).
A navy captain got kicked out a while back for doing the same thing.
She trains Air Force recruits at their basic training. She should be relieved of duty... can you imagine some 18-year-old kid telling his drill sergeant "I saw you in Playboy"? Yeah, instant respect there.

Gobbla at least you know a way out should you choose an early exit. Time to fire up the Bodygroom.
