Knowing that great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance, St. Louis District’s Beverly Youngblood, Equal Employment Office specialist has a strong sense of love for the U. S. Army, as evidenced from her thirty-four-year career serving as the Division Sexual Assault Response coordinator/Human Resource specialist in the 102d Training Division at Fort Leonard Wood.
The St. Louis native credits writing an eleventh-grade term paper on career choices in helping her make the decision to join the Army. After attending Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Mo., where she earned her undergraduate degree in business administration and a master’s in business management, she became an enlisted recruit and joined the Army at the St. Louis Military Entrance Processing Station.
