Shannon runs the non profit Shield of Sisters and shared her experience of serving in the Navy on this week's episode of the Women of the Military podcast. Shannon's dad, an Army veteran, gave her two options, go to college or join the military. She decided to join the military. She picked the Navy because they were the only recruiter available when she went to the recruiters offices.
