- <p> She is armed and dangerous, but her knockout potential is
- also aesthetic. Meet the gulf war's first pinup girl: Jackie
- Guibord, 28, a statuesque mother of two who wields a shotgun
- and sports a trim pair of jeans in a current Wrangler adver
- tisement. Operation Desert Storm's answer to Betty Grable is
- actually a Provo, Utah, police officer who moonlights as a
- model. Her unofficial fan club began when a few Utah reservists
- took copies of the ad to the gulf. Before long other
- servicemen started tearing the photo out of magazines and
- pinning it up in tents, bunkers and just about every Marine
- military-police station in Saudi Arabia. Says Guibord: "If I
- can be a temporary diversion for our boys overseas, I'm
- flattered." Spoken like a real trooper.
