Pace who is the Army&#8217;s longest serving woman in history. She is currently the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division Band. She&#8217;s been on active duty since 1972 when it wasn&#8217;t the Army but the Women&#8217;s Army Corp.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Like many serving today, Pace said she joined the Army to establish her independence as an adult with the guarantee of clothing, food, shelter, and medical benefits while earning her education benefits and trying to figure out what she really wanted to do with her life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had no idea that that three-year year enlistment would turn into more than 40 years. There is just no way I could have imagined it,&#8221; continued Pace.<\/p>\n<p>Pace began her career as a private with the 14th Army (WAC) Band at Fort McClellan, Ga., and after 13 years decided to apply to be a warrant officer. It was during this time she was dealt what she perceives was her only real setback during her distinguished career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I failed the first time I tried to become a warrant officer,&#8221; said Pace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy sends us a link from Army.mil about Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jeanne Y.
