Second Lieutenant Jennifer Ponce was torn between her desire to serve her country and to pursue an education.The Army National Guard gives students like Ponce opportunities to serve part-time while continuing their studies full-time.
"My parents have always encouraged my sisters and me to go out and pursue good, solid careers that will allow us to have comfortable lives in comparison to what they grew up with," she says."The Guard gave me the opportunity to serve in the Army and also continue my studies." It's because of the Army National Guard, Ponce says, that she's been able to accomplish so much so quickly."I really do love the organization, the lifestyle, and the discipline of being in the Army National Guard," she says."It's a very flexible lifestyle, and it helped get me to where I am today."
For Ponce — who has long had an interest in computers and coding — Army National Guard service has meant getting trained as an IT specialist and working with people who are highly accomplished in the field."The officers I'm surrounded by aren't just military intelligence or cyber officers or signal officers. They're also professionals in the civilian world … so it's been a really good networking opportunity.
