CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq [Via "Live In Iraq" (Dec. 7, 2005)] While serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom here, one sailor temporarily put aside her duties as a religious program specialist to perform another job in Fallujah. Petty Officer 2nd Class Sarah Radel, 25, was among many female service members assigned to search Iraqi women and children entering the city. However, Radel, who is operating with II Marine Expeditionary Force, Headquarters Group, II MEF (Forward), is the only RP to fulfill the duty for II MHG to date.
According to Radel, the month-long duty was frightening, but an experience she'll never forget.
