Oregon's first female tank mechanic

Spc. Samantha Brumley, a tank mechanic with F Company, 145th Brigade Support Battalion, poses for a photo in front of an Abrams M1A2 System Enhanced Package (SEP) tank while training at the Orchard Training Center near Boise, Idaho, Aug. 20. "They said they'd opened up the mechanics field to women, but they didn't tell me until I went to the school that I was the first woman to go through the course," said 23-year-old Brumley of La Grande, Ore.
