Like Air Force One, the presidential plane, it is only called Marine One when the president is aboard.
"It's not really about being a female," said Grieves, 38. "It's about being a Marine and about being part of an organization that is exceptional."
There are only five Marine pilots selected at any one time to fly the president and his family.
"Of course, it's nerve wracking to fly the president of the United States," she said. "I think my most stressful days are when I fly Sasha and Malia."
But she won't be a Marine One pilot any longer:
Grieves won't be earning her paycheck as a Marine One pilot any longer. Most Marine One pilots have the job for a year. She has been flying the president for the past 14 months and her last trip was this week.
To honor her, the Marines arranged for Grieves' last flight to have an all-female crew -- the first in history to ever fly the president. ABC
