Шеннон Ирке из Миннесоты начала службу в 19 лет и четыре года посвятила морской пехоте. Сейчас ей 29 и военная жизнь далеко за плечами.

Красотка занимается модельным бизнесом, причем очень успешно, а также делится своими снимками в соцсетях.

MOS School & fast forward to now… even though MOS school does feel like yesterday #TimeFlies

Ирке считает, что стать морским пехотинцем было лучшим решением в жизни, ведь благодаря этому она стала сильнее, выносливее и лучше. По словам девушка, теперь она умеет быть собранной всегда, невзирая на обстоятельства, и никогда не опускает руки.

For what it's worth, you don't owe people who you used to be. You don't have to talk to people who are speaking to the old you. Don't let them drag the old you out when you've already left that person behind. When you've gone from weakness to strength, you don't owe a show of your former self to people who can't wrap their head around your change. Keep doing what you're doing and what makes you happy⚡️
