Michelle D. Manhart (born October 20, 1976)[1] is a former Wikipedia:United States Air Force Military Training Instructor who was based at Wikipedia:Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Wikipedia:Texas, and held the rank of Staff Sergeant (Ssgt in the Air Force). In January 2007 she was relieved of duty and placed under investigation for posing nude in Wikipedia:Playboy magazine.[2] She was subsequently demoted to Wikipedia:Senior Airman, a move which caused her to resign from the Air Force.[3][4][5]

Manhart, a Wikipedia:California native, joined the Air Force in 1994, and is married with two children. When her husband was assigned to Waterloo, Wikipedia:Iowa as an Air Force recruiter, she transferred to the Iowa Wikipedia:Air National Guard.[6] After the Wikipedia:September 11, 2001 attacks she was recalled to active duty, and spent time deployed to Wikipedia:Kuwait in 2002.

She was Wikipedia:photographed for Playboy's February 2007 issue in uniform, partially clothed and completely nude. According to the Air Force, such actions do not meet standards of integrity.

She was a part-time columnist for Canadian news site Wikipedia:Orato.[7]

Precedent and disciplinary action[edit]

Reference to Manhart's case appears in an academic article authored by Major Kelly L. McGovern in the March 2008 issue of The Army Lawyer. To quote, "Former Air Force Drill Sergeant Michelle Manhart posed in and out of uniform for the February 2007 edition of Playboy magazine. Photos included Manhart in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline, 'Tough Love'. On the subsequent pages, Manhart appeared 'partially clothed, wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.' The pictures hit the stands in January 2007, and the Air Force immediately relieved her of her duties pending an investigation. The Air Force then took administrative action against Manhart. She received a letter of reprimand for violating the uniform regulation and discrediting the armed forces. The Air Force also administratively demoted Manhart from staff sergeant to senior airman. In February, she was voluntarily discharged from the Air Force citing reasons of personal convenience."[8]

According to Playboy publicist Theresa Hennessey, two other active-duty servicewomen (both from the Wikipedia:United States Navy) appeared in Playboy, Lieutenant Frederica Spilman in the June 1998 issue and IT2 Sherry Lynne White in the September 2000 issue. (White was discharged a few months prior to the end of her enlistment, Spilman was honorably discharged.) Seven women were featured in a "Women of the Armed Forces" pictorial in the April 1980 issue.[9]

Modeling career[edit]

In addition to Playboy's February 2007 issue, Manhart has appeared on the covers of Playboy Wikipedia:Mexico, Wikipedia:Japan and Wikipedia:Western Europe and in 2007 was announced as the new international Wikipedia:spokesmodel for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (WP) “I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur”(WP) campaign.[10][11] She is also on the cover of a 2008 Wikipedia:pin-up style Wikipedia:calendar, published by Operation Calendar, featuring models in Wikipedia:body paint.[12]
