But now that sacrifice is open to more iowans then ever before. Coming up, we introduce you to the first two iowa women enlisting for guard. Yet just a fraction are enlisted to serve in combat. Channel 13s mike dasilva spoke with the first two about what it means to them. The decision had been made that they would remove all barriers, starting january 1st 2016 for women to serve in whatever role they wanted to in the military. With the door finally open for the first time in the guards 176year history. Private megan reaska and private dakota doocy are preparing for combat. I dont want to be like pampered because im a female. I mean i joined the military like thats not something thats very girly, you reaska, a 20 year old sophomore at the university of iowa, started out considering a medical position. But was drawn to the duties of a combat engineer. Youre talking about jobs in which you may have to go find improvised explosive devices. You may have to use you know high explosives to remove obstacles. You may engage in direct combat, just like the infantry would against an enemy. Combat engineer definitely intrigued me. Sounds awesome. you learn how to build things and like that and then you learn to be able to blow it up. You learn all the chemicals and the context of that kind of stuff to be able to blow it up. I think thats awesome. Combat engineers construct fighting positions, bridges, obstacles and defensive positions. Placing and detonating explosives. Clearing routes. For reaska it isnt just a job. Military service its part of a family legacy. It was something that i looked up to them for. My grandpas told me stories. My uncle has told me stories. Its really cool, but i didnt actually megan im very proud of myself and i know that the people around me are proud and id like to be motivation for other people and inspiration for other people. 18 year old dakota doocy is motivating them by breaking new ground. Shes enlisted to become a Field Artillery firefinder radar operator. they have a critical job so they can understand where incoming rounds might be coming. How we can defend against that and where our outgoing rounds are going as well. The decision to enlist in a combat role didnt come easy. thats how i got more knowledge about it and i thought about it and thought about it and i wasnt really sure about it. I didnt want to, and i really thought and i joined dakota doocy knows she made the right choice. Both for her and the women who will follow. I want someone to look up to me and be like oh shes doing a good thing. Maybe i should do that too. So, yeah i like to be in this position because there are they cant do something, especially girls. Doocy and reaska are proof that women can do it. Taking part in training. Drills. And meeting the qualifications for positions once restricted only to men. Im doing something that once upon a time, females couldnt do. You just have to believe in yourself and not be put down about it. If you want to do something do it, and dont hold back. im willing to fight for you, for your freedom, and youre going to say no you cant do it, dont do that. You know ill prove you wrong, if i do go to war heaven forbid, if i go to war, ill prove you wrong. I can do it. And every female can do it. That was mike dasilva reporting. About 45percent of combat enlistees. Both male and female fail to qualify because they fail the physical Entrance Exam or the winter returns for central iowa today. Theres a new layer of iowa.
