#staffsergeant Amanda Kelley didn’t set out to become the #firstfemale enlisted #soldier to pass the incredibly rigorous #armyrangerschool .Kelley, a native of #easleysc that was just another step along the path toward her bigger goal — to become #sergeantmajorofthearmy . Actually, she’s not the first female to have completed the 62-day gauntlet-She was the 16th, but all the others were #officers . Kelley seems to take pride in her status as an #enlistedsoldier rather than an officer — as evidenced by her goal of being the #topenlisted #noncommissionedofficer in the whole #Army. “I wanted to get out of Easley. It’s so small. I wanted to be somebody,” she said. “I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself.” After graduating from #easleyhighschool in 2007, Kelley, now 29, wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life. She eventually went to a private tech school in #greenvillesc , where she learned some of what helped her in her current job as an #electronicwarfarespecialist .
