Michelle Manhart — Biography
Michelle Manhart, originally from California, enlisted in the Air Force in 1994. She is married and has two children. When her husband was stationed in Waterloo, Iowa, to serve as an Air Force recruiter, she transferred to the Iowa Air National Guard. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, she was recalled to active duty and was deployed to Kuwait in 2002.
In February 2007, Manhart was photographed for Playboy magazine, appearing both partially clothed and fully nude while in uniform. The Air Force stated that these actions did not align with their standards of integrity. Manhart had previously served as a Military Training Instructor in the United States Air Force, holding the rank of Staff Sergeant. In January 2007, she was relieved of her duties and an investigation was launched into her nude posing for Playboy. The Air Force reiterated that such conduct violated their integrity standards. As a consequence, her rank was reduced to Senior Airman, a demotion that prompted her resignation from the Air Force.
Beyond her appearance in the February 2007 issue of Playboy, Manhart was featured on the covers of Playboy Mexico, Japan, and Western Europe. In 2007, she was also named the new international spokesperson for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. Additionally, she graced the cover of a 2008 pin-up style calendar published by Operation Calendar, which showcased models adorned in body paint.
