My family always told me I could be anything I wanted. Soooo approaching my twilight years, my new path is being the best Soldier I can be, serving my country with my gifts and talents with pride.
The process has not been easy, but with each step along the journey, I have learned and garnered a better understanding of what it takes to be a military member.
I was always taught to take pride in my appearance, even when I was only going outside to play. But despite that, whenever I came home after a day outside, this Tom Boy was never as clean as I was when I left in the morning.
I have created a pride of place in my closet for all my uniforms, vests, boots, and shoes. My uniforms include a DCU, Digital Combat Uniform, (which is the camouflage one), Tactical Vest, Mess Kit (red and dark blue), Service Dress (for formal events) and KP (the brown short sleeve, the brown belt is called Sam Brown).
There are other uniforms that I will need, but I am still new to the journey so I will acquire what else I need in time.
The pictures will show you what each uniform looks like and how good I look in each😊
From the first day, I put on my DCU and the first time I put on any of the uniforms I cannot express the immense pride I feel when I am in uniform. My friends and family say they see my persona adjust when I am in uniform.
My sister from another mother has always said, ‘Get up, dress up, and show up’ I have always and will continue to do that in and out of uniform.
You will always be a soldier, as I was told by a former military officer. That is my mind-set in all I do going forward.

Ma’am Nickle, I’m so grateful to have you as my friend and as my role model. You lead with grace, wisdom, and a heart that puts others first, and it pushes me to grow every single day.
Thank you for the guidance when I needed direction, for the laughs that lightened heavy moments, and for showing me what it looks like to walk with purpose and integrity. With God in the midst of it all, I see how faith, kindness, and strength can move together in you.
Keep doing yourselves proud. Keep elevating, breaking barriers, and shining beyond boundaries. The world needs more of your light, and I’m honored to learn from you and walk beside you.
Many blessings, Ma’am Nickle. May God continue to cover you, multiply your work, and keep you elevated in Jesus mighty name Amen.
