After Staci entered the Navy, her career took her to Bethesda, Oakland and the USNS Comfort during the Persian Gulf War. She recalls the many career opportunities and skills the Navy afforded her and discusses what life was like on a Naval Hospital ship. She completed her career as an Instructor at the Corpsman School at Great Lakes Navy Base as an HM2 and was a role model for many enlisted trainees. Now, Staci is a fitness and wellness coach, author and motivational speaker. She continues to serve in the veteran community as VFW Post #3873 Junior Vice Commander and Post #43 American Legion member as well as other veteran causes.

This week we will meet Nadia Baran. She is a Marine Veteran who continues to serve with many veteran organizations to include: the Post 43 American Legion as the current Commander, the Women Marines Association as well as organizing the local Marine Corps Ball. Nadia is a force to be reckoned with. She had to fight to enlist due to her height. She fought to ensure her citizenship paperwork was submitted properly and fought to try to get to DI school despite a knee injury which ultimately shortened her career.
