Wife and mother, 22 year old Jacqueline Feeney is the first female recruit in the California Army National Guard to be sworn into a combat arms role today, June 12th at Cal Guard’s Joint Forces Headquarters. She is sworn in by Brig. Gen. Laura Yeager, also a prominent Cal Guard female first. Yeager will make history when she assumes command of the 40th Infantry Division, June 29th. Feeney’s unit falls under the 40th, a division led by only men since it was formed in 1917. Feeney said she always considered military service but only wanted to enlist if she could work in the field she desired. “As soon as infantry became available, I knew I could sign up for the job I really want,” she said. Feeney’s been working with Cal Guard recruiting for 3 years and is excited about enlisting as an Infantryman/11B, the best road to Special Forces her true, long term goal (Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Salli Sablan, U.S. Army National Guard).
