Former Disney Star Trades Fame for Fatigues, Enlists in US Army

Thank you SSG (Join to see) for posting.
Kudos to Carly Schroeder for following her her dad's footsteps and enlisting in the U.S. Army
"Actress Carly Schroeder is leaving the world of glitz and glitter for one of grime and guns.
The former “Lizzie McGuire” actress has enlisted in the Army, according to TMZ.
“I’ve been considering it for a while and it is a big choice, but thankfully my parents and my little brother were very supportive of me,” said Schroeder, 28
“My dad was actually in the Army, he was a Green Beret medic, and my little brother Hunter, he’s in the Marines now.”
“For 22 years, I’ve played dress up for a living. As an actress I’ve been kidnapped, gone blind, nearly eaten by lions and murdered on more than one occasion. I tormented Lizzie McGuire’s little brother on the Disney channel, was a dolphin trainer, the first female soccer player on an all boys team and Harrison Ford once rescued me during an intense home invasion,” she posted..”That’s exciting and all, but in January I decided to raise my right hand and swear into the United States Army. With a college degree from @callutheran in Criminal Justice, an ASVAB score of 92, and qualifying PFTs… I was accepted into Army #OCS (Officer Candidate School),” she wrote.
