| John Marshall Community High School JROTC and their school library media specialist, MAJ Christina Shepard celebrate Veteran's day, Nov. 11, 2015. |
Originally I wore my uniform for Robert Woods, who inspired me to get my "oak leaf," or earn the rank of Major. As a wife, mother, media specialist, and Indiana Army National Guard soldier, not much time is left.
When you consider:
*less than 0.5 percent of the population serve in the United States Armed Forces
*Only 18% will become an officer in the United States Army
*16,399 of all U.S. Army officers are Majors
*15.5% of the United States Army are female
*While 71% of male officers are married, only 51% of female officers are married
That means only 1,291 out of 318.86 million people people in the United States are married ladies who serve in the United States army and have attained the rank of Major.
Robert graduated, and another student was jealous that I had not taken the photo with him in it, so we took another one this year. 1SG Richard Woodcox now calls it a tradition.
I am greatly honored to be able to wear the uniform, and to have such support as the JROTC program at John Marshall Community High School.
