TIP Wayne State Student La'Toinetta "Lottie" Duhart was always interested in serving her community and country. And her commitment recently paid off as she was promoted from Private First Class to Specialist. Lottie has served two years in the National Guard after being recruited by Army National Guard Recruiting at Wayne State University. Lottie has a background in High School ROTC where she successfully took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Thereafter she was sent to South Carolina for basic training and realized that she could still achieve big thing even though she is physically "short and small." "eight mile ruck marches carrying heavy packs and weapons through the sand or up hills was definitely a challenge, but I was determined to do this," says Duhart.
"National Guard Soldiers serve both community and country. Our versatility enables us to respond to domestic emergencies, overseas combat missions, counterdrug efforts, reconstruction missions and more. The Guard always responds with speed, strength and efficiency, helping to defend American freedom and ideals."

Some of Lottie's responsibilities within the National Guard include the processing of soldier's paperwork regarding their awards and promotions. Lottie is also particularly skilled at giving the Commander's Update Brief (CUB) which is a meeting in which she communicates information on events happening in the last 24 hours and the next 24 hours within her unit. "The most important thing I've learned so far in the military is to be flexible," Lottie said, "situations are not always perfect, but you have to find a way to make it work."
