Sgt. Jordan Wiskow, noncommissioned officer with the Headquarters and Service Company 158th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, stands next to a mural of the Arizona State Flag at Papago Park Military Reservation on March 5, 2023. Wiskow has been in the Arizona Army National Guard (AZNG) for eight years. Her favorite woman in history is Sandra Day O'Connor because of the strides she made for women when practicing law. "Women's history month is important to me because women in the military now have the opportunity to do jobs they were always capable of doing but weren't allowed to do," said Wiskow. "...and now we can show that women are just as capable as any other Soldier." Wiskow comes from a military family and previously served in the Minnesota Army National Guard before transferring to Arizona. She has worked as a Human Resource Specialist helping Soldiers with travel, pay, orders, and school. Wiskow deployed with the 158th Infantry Battalion to Afghanistan and Kuwait in 2018-2019 and appreciates all the knowledge and training she has received from her leaders and peers. She is currently an Active Guard Reserve noncommissioned officer with the transportation battalion and is studying communications with a focus on public speaking at an online university. Her favorite part about serving is watching people grow and assisting in their career progression. "I am one hundred percent most thankful for my family," said Wiskow. "They have supported me in every career decision I have made even if they don't agree with it and they want what's best for me but will support me regardless of their opinion on the matter."
