Heather Jackson is a proud American patriot and Veteran of the U.S. Army. Initially joining as an enlisted member, Jackson eventually worked her way up to Officer ranking.

Heather Jackson’s military career began long before she even joined the Army.  Several of her family members had enlisted and she loved hearing their stories.  Jackson joined the Army right after HS graduation. For 8 years Heather Jackson served in the United States Army as an enlisted soldier quickly climbing through the ranks with each accelerated promotion.  By the time she made it to her last enlisted duty assignment, she was the first female NCO to lead and run an entire Health Care Clinic on that post.  Based on her exceptional skills as an enlisted soldier and leader, she received numerous commendations and recommendations from four and five star generals in which she was then offered a full scholarship to the U.S. Army’s Green to Gold Program.  Those generals saw the exemplary leadership from Jackson and felt that she would be better serving as an officer.
