Interview with Army Veteran Robyn McClure

Hi everyone! I Grew up in Vancouver, Wa. I joined the Army when I was 17. I Left for basic training to Ft. Lennerdwood, MO 2 weeks after graduating in 2001. I enlisted as a Military Police then 9/11 happened during my AIT. I then was given orders to Ft. Riley, KS. We went from Kansas to DC for about 7 months in support of Operation Nobel Eagle which was to guard the Pentagon during reconstruction. We then went back to Kansas to train and prepare for deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I deployed from March 03 to April 04.
After deployment, I was laterally transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) and took over as the NCOIC of the narcotics team for a year. I then got orders for a PCS to Korea April of 2005. I served there till January of 2006.
I left Army even though I was a lifer at heart. I was pregnant and getting divorced so I came home back to WA. I fell in love with the medical field in Iraq and had training as a CLS (Combat life saver). It was the most fulfilling part of my short Army career. I left as a SGT (P) acting platoon SSG.
I obtained my Associates Degree in Medical Assisting... hoping to become an RN one day. Having two little babies and being a single mom.... it was hard. Working 2 or 3 jobs, night school. And then no one would hire me for MA.
I Went back to school for massage therapy and became a healer and believer in naturopathic medicine now. I own a mobile massage business and work in a natural health clinic as a massage therapist. I'm a home owner, I'm a single momma to 3 beautiful, amazing children. I've survived a lot of heart break, losing loved ones, attempted suicide of ex husband, military sexual trauma, PTSD.... etc. I'm an open book and would love nothing more than to help my brothers and sisters in arms, my fellow Veterans and fellow healers. Thank you!!!
