Can you spot me w/ the M4 in the front row? This was in Kuwait before Iraq (2006)
I feel a bit silly posting pictures of myself in uniform (yet i post a lot right? LOL) but one of my SGTs just called to tell me that I’m going to be pinned to sergeant next month!!!! Wow, this means a lot to me because I officially have a lot more responsibilities and I have been waiting for this moment since I joined in 2006.
The pictures from this post are of me back in 2006-2008 in Iraq. No new ones yet. Jesse (the hubby) agreed to take pictures of me getting pinned so stay tune for those next month (March 6 to be exact)
I’m going to a new unit,which means a fresh start. I already know I’m going to be mean and strict with all the males. LOL. anyway, thank you for all the congrats on twitter.
I’m so happy I finally made it!!!! I can’t stop smiling. I’m just a bit nervous about it though haha, but it’s normal. I have to start refining my skills though lol.

way to go, I had no idea you were in the Army… I was in the USMC, got out in 92.
How many years are you doing?
This is great, a great role model for young girls, you should make a video on youtube about this, I know a lot of girls do not know you are in the army.

Hi.I just wanted to let you know I've been a silent reader of your blog for awhile and gosh YOU ARE AMAZING. One of the amazing thing that I love about you is that you SHOP FROM FOREVER 21 — which inspire girls like me because i don't have a great income so to see and realize that i can still dress in style like you is AMAZING. —Another thing that I love about you is that you have such a big heart. I can't believe you're in the army. Almost a SERGEANT – how cool is that.. Honest to god you by far have the the most beautiful woman i have seen in the army. God bless you. —- You're beautiful and truly an amazing person.
Congrats Dulce!!!!!

That's wonderful! Congrats Beautiful! =)

Congrats girl!
from a Army wife hear in Fort Hood (Mel). i know how long it can take and how fast it can be also lol. My hubby came from E2 to E4 in only one year. Keep up the great work!
Hooah LOL
I've been in the military for 5 years now. I know how amazing it is to finally know you've made it high enough up the ranks to really make a diff. Congrats to you! Being a woman in the military can be really difficult sometimes…a lot of the time we are underappreciated because of our gender. I'm glad you broke down the barriers and succeeded! By the way….thank you SO much for actually having a presentable bun! I hate the women that run around with their hair lookin a hot mess!

Congratulations from Spain of a follower of yours, on youtube and on your blog
congratulations Candy !!!
Loves it!
wow congratz girl and good luck
You are such an inspiration. Congratulations gorgeous! You deserve it all!!
You just prove everything I like to say about women – that we can be strong, and kind, and funny, and clever and compassionate – and into lipgloss – without any one of those thing taking away from the others or labelling us. I first watched your videos on YouTube and I've heard you mention the army, but I couldn't imagine it because were so cute and prettily made up. So to see it is really inspiring. You rock the girl power,babycakes!
congrats!
i leave to marine bootcamp in august and i hope i can still keep my style like you have!!!!!!
