She plans to serve in military occupational specialty 11X, one of a series of MOSs that opened to women April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barnett initially visited Army recruiters in November, she said in an Army news release. She told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ksla.com\/story\/31672954\/louisiana-woman-makes-us-army-history?clienttype=generic&amp;sf23970529=1\">TV station KSLA<\/a> that she&#8217;d planned to enter the military police ranks, &#8220;but\u00a0infantry is similar, and they are more on the front lines, like law enforcement here, and I said that&#8217;s what I want to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She&#8217;ll head to Fort Benning, Georgia, in June 2017 for basic training. The 14-month delay\u00a0&#8220;is to allow the Army to properly prepare for new trainees by\u00a0having trained female officers and [noncommissioned officers] in position,&#8221; Army Recruiting Battalion Baton Rouge public affairs chief Roger Harmon said via email. &#8220;This allows female\u00a0soldiers the opportunity to attend training and serve in a MOS previously\u00a0only available to male soldiers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another MOS gender barrier fell recently at a recruiting station in Horseheads, a central New York town about 15 miles from the Pennsylvania border. There, Kaitlyn Stanton enlisted as a\u00a0fire support specialist\u00a0(MOS 13F), which opened to women April 1 along with 11-series specialties and other combat-related jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another female 13F recruit is set to enlist early next week in the Seattle area, a Recruiting Command spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barnett plans to celebrate her gender-equity milestone by going fishing with family this weekend. She&#8217;s also already made some career plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I have served the front lines in my hometown &#8230; and now I am going to serve the front lines for my country,&#8221; Barnett said in the release. &#8220;I want to deploy, see action, and I definitely want to go to Airborne school.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
