Brittany M Hauck “Little”
Class of 2008
Army, 8 Years
Joined the 28th ID just 3 months after graduation deployed the 209th Cav and spent 9 months over seas, working as an intel specialist. Though it was the toughest thing I’ve ever done it was also the best thing I’ve ever done, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I met tons of great people and wouldn’t change my experience for anything
