U.S. Army Spc. Riley Black, door gunner with Bravo Company, 2-104th General Support Aviation Battalion, 28th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, poses in front of a CH-47 Chinook at an airfield in the 28th ECAB's area of operations in the Middle East.

Black enlisted in the U.S. Army to pay for college as she pursues her degree in business, marketing and sales from Ohio University. Black comes from a line of family members who served.

"Women's History Month means a lot to me because it brings awareness to everything that women accomplished and learning the history of precedence for me today in my career", said Black.

Black said her favorite part of the deployment is that she has seen five different countries, and claims Syria is her favorite because of the terrain and landscape.

Black plans to travel to Puerto Rico and relax with family after she gets home. Her favorite food is sushi and loves the movie Legally Blonde.
