John Marshall ROTC support Major Christina Shepard, their Media Specialist

John Marshall ROTC, and their citizen-soldier Media Specialist, MAJ Christina Shepard

Being included in the John Marshall Community High School Patriot family is very special to me.  Robert Wood, who is now graduated, came into the media center every day asking when I was going to become a Major. 

I had been a Captain for several years, for many reasons.  One, I have family commitments.  Two, there are not many slots available to females in the Indiana National Guard for Major because we are an infantry state.  Three, vision.

Having Robert, and the JROTC students to inspire me, I was able to earn my Major rank through changing branches.  I am now in an infantry brigade, as a public affairs officers.

Since this photo, I have begun working towards becoming a Lieutenant Colonel.
