![]() I’m not sure if we were being punished for not having our boots shined or if we were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Me, along with five other women, were tasked to load the M-16 magazines with live rounds for night qualification. Each one of us received three magazines and several ammo cases. There were four platoons of around forty females: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta. You could see our breaths against the backdrop of the night sky. It was around 9 p.m., raining and nearly forty degrees. My first example of this was about six weeks into Army Basic Training. I learned about eternal friendships, unyielding strength and determination, and teamwork. I was fortunate to have served with the most wonderful and selfless individuals. ![]() To begin, I joined the military right out of high school, serving both in the active duty Army and in the Army and Air National Guard. With my book releasing on Memorial Day, I thought it fitting to talk about my military career and honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. I always struggle with a topic or what to say. I have to admit I admire anyone who can blog on a weekly or monthly basis. ![]()
