Sgt. 1st Class Jenny Bos serves as a truck driving instructor for the Nebraska National Guard, teaching everything from how to properly tie down a load to how to run a convoy operation.
Many of her students might be surprised to know their 37-year-old teacher is a combat veteran who earned a Bronze Star with Valor in Iraq.
It’s not something the modest Bos brings up, either during her part-time Guard work or in her regular job as an elementary school teacher in her adopted home of Columbus.
“It gets brought up sometimes by the other instructors, more when I’m not around,” Bos said recently.
The role of women in the military has changed much since 2015, when the Defense Department decided to open most combat roles to women.
