FORT KNOX, Ky. - She joined the Army at 18 to become independent and pay for college. She intended to complete only one term, but 13 years later, this Mexican American is still serving her country - and loving it. Sgt. 1st Class Julia Puente, medical logistics NCO, , is one of the unit's many Hispanic Soldiers prospering, gaining power, and progressing in America. She is the platoon sergeant for the support operations section of the unit, which members affectionately call 'SPO Nation' for esprit-de-corps and section cohesiveness.
