Sgt. Jennifer Suarez has looked death in the face and said “I am not ready to go yet.” Currently serving as the commanding officer’s driver at The Basic School, United States Marine Corps Base Quantico, she was medically retired as a corporal in 2007 due to brain cancer. After surgery, months of radiation and chemotherapy, and a lengthy convalescent period, she is back on active duty today, serving in a full-duty status! In March 2013, Suarez got her wish: she re-enlisted in Frederick, Maryland. After several phone calls to her career monitor, she was able to be assigned to TBS so she could stay in the area where her family and support system were located. She was promoted to sergeant in January 2014. When asked why she wanted to come back in after all she had been through, Suarez said “I know I wouldn’t be happy not wearing this uniform.” Here is to your health, Sgt. Suarez! #cancerfree #marines #Quantico #oorah
