Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jeanne Pace joined the Women's Army Corps in 1972, playing in the 14th Army WAC Band based out of Fort McClellan, Alabama.
The fort, the band and the WAC have since closed up shop, but Pace's career continued through 43 years of active-duty service. Recognized as the longest-tenured female warrant officer and the last former member of the WAC on active duty, she plans to retire in a Friday afternoon ceremony at Fort Hood, Texas, where she served as bandmaster for the 1st Calvary Division Band.
