Caressa Bell grew up in a small community outside Chicago near Great Lakes Naval Base, where military life was always around her.
By her junior year of high school, she had already made a decision that would change the direction of her life: she was joining the military.
Caressa originally entered the U.S. Army through the Reserves, but after experiencing basic training and AIT, she realized the Army was giving her something bigger—a challenge, an education, and a path forward.
She went active duty and ultimately served 10 years.
In this MisFitNation moment, Caressa shares how a small-town beginning became the foundation for a life of military service, leadership, resilience, and eventually executive leadership.
Sometimes your next chapter begins when you are willing to leave what is familiar.
