“If there is one thing I would tell my junior Marine self, it would be to take care of your body! Your old self will thank you in the future.”
U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Cynthia Rutherford, an aviation ordnance systems technician, with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) 11, Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
Rutherford paved the way as the first to join the military in her family. The camaraderie, structure, and challenge confirmed her decision to choose the Marine Corps. After a successful career as an ordnance technician, she became a drill instructor, before returning to her field as the production control chief at MALS-11. She continues to strive for excellence with hopes to become an Assistant Marine Officer Instructor at a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program, and later, a first sergeant. Rutherford is a native of Tucumcari, New Mexico. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Courtney A. Robertson)
