Have questions about this episode?
In this episode, we sit down with retired Master Sergeant (MSG) Leesha Dixson, who shares her unexpected journey into the Army—starting with a missed job opportunity at a chicken restaurant that led her to the recruiting office across the street.
Leesha reflects on being part of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in the 1970s, just before women were fully integrated into the regular Army. Her candid stories highlight the challenges and humor of being among the first women stationed in male-dominated spaces and the pride of following in her Vietnam veteran brother’s footsteps.
From scaling a 30-foot utility pole to finding camaraderie and purpose, MSG Dixson’s story is one of resilience, laughter, and trailblazing service.
