Seventeen-year-old Linda Singh was homeless and working at a pretzel stand in a suburban Baltimore mall when she met a National Guard recruiter. That conversation led to a 38-year Army career, culminating in her role as the first female and African American Adjutant General of the Maryland National Guard. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with MG (Ret.) Singh to discuss how she overcame a number of obstacles in her youth, including sexual assault, to become the leader she is, the lessons and highlights of her Army career, and to learn a thing or two about Maryland in the process.
 
Guest: MG (Ret.) Linda Singh, PhD, U.S. Army National Guard, AUSA Senior Fellow
