Pfc. Kayleigh Bowes joined the military out of impulse but she doesn’t regret it, saying that she has met some really cool people.

As a wheeled vehicle mechanic, she says her smaller stature makes it harder to work on some of the bigger equipment but it has not stopped her from accomplishing her tasks.

Some of the things that have helped Bowes get through this deployment are working out, going to Zumba classes, FaceTiming her family and helping her fellow Soldiers get through the deployment as well.

After deployment, she plans on going to college to get a degree in criminology and forensic science, with a goal of one day working for the FBI.
When asked what advice she would share with someone in her position she replied “focus on yourself and your career.”

Bowes is deployed with Headquarters Support Company, 628th Aviation Support Battalion, 28th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade.
