I don't know if you've ever heard of a military woman who's also a FarmGirl at heart, but here is one that would like to say Hello!
A little about me: My name is Junette, but I prefer to be called Jay. I'm 23 and am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, currently serving in Iraq. This is my second tour to this country. My family hails from Haiti, and I was born in Orlando, Florida.
I've been a FarmGirl all my life, but I did not fully acknowledge it until this year and now it won't be suppressed! I'm very interested in organic farming, homesteading, and farming with draft horses. |

Woo hoo!! Our own farmgirl Marine Sergeant!! The enemy better watch out now! Farmgirls know how to get things done.
Can you send your address so we can mail you things? Let us know what you or your mates want or need and we'll do the farmgirl thing. And thank you, Jay, and everyone there, for making this sacrifice for us. We pray for you all every day.
My mother's name was Josephine and she was called Jay all her life.

Welcome Jay!
I am so glad you found us farmgirls! You sound like you have lots of amazing stories! Are you going to try to get some land and start homesteading when you get out of the service?
