I am a military mom. I’ve been in the Air Force for 26 years and am currently work at DHHQ. I have a 3-year-old and a 9-month-old. I feel incredibly blessed to be a mom – it was a long road to get here – and military medicine played a large role in that. Being a military mom means a constant balancing of priorities, making the most of each moment, modeling the power of service, and of not just telling – but showing – my daughters that the world is full of possibility. U.S. Air Force Col. Leigh Johnson, Chief, Mental Health Integrated Operational Support, Air Force Medical Readiness Agency, Office of the Air Force Surgeon General.

To be quite honest, being a military mom is a lot of work! I am proud of my service, and I love showing my kids how important that service is and that I am blessed to serve every day. I especially love to show them that women can be in the military too – and successfully balance both full-time careers. I truly believe that my time in the military has made me a better mom – and a better person! Lt. Col. Kristin Agresta, Acting Division Chief, Defense Health Agency Public Health, Veterinary Services Division.

Though this photo is not of me with my own kids, Kole (11) and Margaret (9), I'm still a mom at heart no matter where I am serving. While on my deployment supporting the air lift of over 10K Afghan refugees, I had the chance to help these two kids on the flight line while their mom received medical aid. Being a mother sometimes means supporting another mom in need. I'm so glad I could be there that day to help her and her kids on their journey.

Being a military mom is rewarding yet challenging rolled into one giant ball of appreciation. You never know what you are going to get being in the military but adding children into the picture makes it that more unique. My children have traveled the world. They have been to countries and places that most people only dream about or read about. They have learned about different cultures and people. I believe these experiences have contributed to their already amazing personalities. They are kind, passionate, and accepting of others’ differences. The military has afforded me these opportunities to be able to provide for them so for that I am extremely grateful for being a military mom. U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Maya Bell, Department Head, Physical & Occupational Therapy Department, U.S. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Guam.

The future is FEMALE! U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Shanelle Sampson, Flight Chief, Banholzer Clinic, 316th Medical Group, Joint Base Andrews.

I am very proud of her and all that she has accomplished, being in the Army since age 18 and mother of a college student attending St. Augustine College in Raleigh, North Carolina. As an Army Reservist, she tries her hardest to enjoy the little things with her daughter, because being in the military can take her to many places. She has traveled the world, seen different countries and states, but her best moments were being there for her daughter. Looking back on her first school Christmas Pageant, to the after-school activities and festivals, Girl Scout meetings, seeing her go to prom, and now in college. Being a mom has made life a little more resilient, to be able to fight the good fight and return home to see her loving face. This is what being a mom has done for her. Joyce Forrest, Financial Management Analyst, and her daughter, U.S. Army Reserves Staff Sgt. Joanne R. Forrest.
