Israeli Model Is a Former Combat Soldier
(JTA) Andrew Tobin - Orin Julie, 23, is a former Israeli combat soldier who is trained to discharge the weapons she poses with. "I don't stand around in swimwear," she said in an interview at her Tel Aviv modeling agency. "I know how to hold guns, how to shoot, how to do combat stuff - and Americans appreciate that." Two years into her career, Julie has modeled for a half dozen Israeli and American companies that sell firearms and related products. In high school, as she began thinking ahead to her mandatory military service, Julie resolved to become a combat solider. "No one thought I could do it," she said. "But I really love Israel, and I wanted to show I could do more and be more." She served in the IDF's new mixed-gender search and rescue brigade.
