S4E04 Army SFC (Ret) Krendra Harralson
Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Army SFC (Ret) Krendra Harralson. Krendra grew up in Tacoma, WA and attended Lincoln High School. As a Sophomore, she joined the school’s JROTC program. During her Junior year, she signed a contract with the WA National Guard at 17, and attended Army Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC during the summer before her Senior year in High School. After graduating in 1998, she completed her AIT at Ft. Sam Houston, TX as a 92B Medic.
Her first assignment was with the WA NG Aviation unit as a Traditional Guardsman until Aug 2000. Then she enlisted in the Active Duty Army and was assigned to Wiesbaden, Germany with the 557th Ground Ambulance Company in 2003. Her next assignment was to the 4th Engineer Battalion at Ft. Carson, CO. In 2009 her unit was deployed to Taji, Iraq. During that deployment, her unit was relocated to Kandahar, Afghanistan where she was battlefield promoted to SSG in 2010. A year later, SSG Harralson was assigned to the 555th Engineer Brigade at Ft. lewis, WA. Her last assignment was to Ft. Sam Houston, TX in 2016 and she retired in 2018.
After retiring, Krendra competed in the Ms. Veteran America through the non-profit Final Salute Inc. Later, she received the appointed title of Mrs. Texas 2024 and will be competing for Mrs. USA at Omaha, NE in Aug 2024.
