While most grandmothers are looking forward to spending time with their grandkids, Tampa Bay's 10Connects.com met one grandmother who is spending her time getting ready for boot camp.
The Army has raised the enlistment age to 42 in 2006 for Active Duty, Reserves, and Army National Guard, providing older motivated individuals an opportunity to serve.
Kim Medeiros is a 41-year-old court clerk from Brandon who loves her job.
"Wonderful job, I enjoy it and have a lot of fun doing it. But I'm looking for new challenges and new career opportunities in my life," Medeiros told 10Connects.com.
Medeiros says she wanted to join the Army when she was 18, but as a single mother, she didn't have a chance to start her career in the military, reports Tampa Bay's 10Connects.com
"We are the best country in the whole wide world. We have freedoms that nobody else can have and we as soldiers regardless of what armed forces agency you come from is to protect those freedoms," Medeiros told 10Connects.com.
Medeiros starts her stint in the army in September.
