In one of those audiences was Jackie Dickens, a recent high school graduate who left the theater on a mission to join the Army. After what seemed to be a twist of fate and some quick decision-making, Jackie found herself signing on the dotted line--and breaking the news to her parents. She soon set off for boot camp, a 12-week journey full of physically and mentally draining challenges and a few hilarious missteps, a journey during which she would learn an entirely new way of life, a journey during which she would become Private Dickens.
