When she first enlisted 23 years ago, Sgt. Jennifer Johnson, a religious affairs noncommissioned officer assigned to the Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 34th Infantry Division “Red Bulls,” did not expect to still be serving today, much less deployed to the U.S. Central Command's area of operations in support of Operation Spartan Shield.
Johnson grew up in a military family, travelling all around the country. No stranger to military life, at the age of 22, she felt it was her turn to serve.
