In the 15 years 1st Sgt. Letricia Wagner has served, she has been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq.
She has been stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., Camp Zama, Japan and Fort Jackson.
He said his most memorable experience in the Army was deciding to re-enlist after his first three years in the service.
"I had all the leadership talk to me, all the way up to the brigade commander. They were asking me to stay in."
One of the people who influenced her most in her military career was her mentor, Master Sgt. George Minick.
"He's mapped out my career for me and made me go to drill sergeant school," she said. "Now he's mapping out my career from Fort Bragg."
Her goal is to receive her bachelor's degree in human resources and to "positively effect as many people as I can while I'm on this earth."
Her advice for junior enlisted Soldiers: "When someone tells you you can't, tell them you can. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do."
We salute you!
