Why I joined the US army at 48 years old - Major Mary Miriti

[@kayjayson1167]

I had had the chance to deploy with her although in a different unit. From the moment we met she could tell am Kenyan and she took me in. She created a community of African soldiers who met regularly in that deployed setting where we gave each other tips and tricks of surviving the military based on our experiences making us all feel like we weren’t alone. Thank you very much Major, I hope you continue to leave your mark wherever you go

I love how closely knit Kenyans in the US are. Love the compassion and togetherness they give each other. Please it up.

Wow so inspiring.More grace woman of God!

I live this woman of God. I have been to her church..

The KCKC center is a great idea. The people involved have a lot of positive energy. The only sad and unfortunate thing about it, is it continues Kenyan tribalism. It is not only them, there are a lot of tribal Kenyan groups like this all over America. It is sad. It would be great if Kenyans were just Kenyans and not defined by tribe first. Tribe should be a very secondary thing that identifies a Kenyan. Future generations have to solve this problem about the great country called Kenya.

[@bizhelpsoln]

You are dead wrong.... so, you want people to affirm a colonial company company called British East Africa that morphed into a country called Kenya as a true identity of nations (you called tribe).. in fact, project Kenya should be collapsed.

[@nyarurui78]

Very brilliant IDEA at the kckc Kansas city event but quite dissapointed that there was no Kalenjin food the Mursik, Kalenjin traditional attire that would really ispire the young ones. The purely meat Diet from GMOS wasnt encouraging

[@collinsmichieka1125]

Wau I don't miss this show everyday since it started in Ktn home..now on ntv continue doing the same.

[@IsaackKINYANJUI-zk6ij]

Call her captain, it is very important 👍

[@Wi_lly]

I thought the oldest age you can join the US military is 42 yrs.......or has the rule changed?

[@SP1-media]

Mbona Kenya ni 24?

[@kimkirwa]

There is exception to policy for chaplains

[@jembekali5928]

The age limit for all the 6 branches was extended to 42 years. If you want to join as a Nurse, Doctor or Chaplain, you can get an age waiver, courtesy of professional experience.

[@evansmuthuri7138]

W hy should one travel all those miles in search of greener pastures and end up join a tribal cannon ,WHY

[@mourice1669]

Lol

[@boohookidscreations8003]

Congratulations Mary and KCKC. Anyway, Kenyans abroad continue to be cocooned in their tribal enclaves. I hope our kids learn to embrace a national identity called Kenyan and less tribal.

[@mseewaotu]

How can you file such a report without showing her congregation? Chruch service ?😮😮

[@felixoyoo789]

If am more than 40yrs old can i join millitary.

[@jembekali5928]

Yes age limit for all 6 branches was extended to 42 years. If you are a Nurse, Doctor or Chaplain, you can get a waiver if you are above 42 years.

[@chaltononyi3343]

Did she join the military at 48 yrs or the chaplaincy?

[@jembekali5928]

Yes, she commissioned as a Chaplain in the US Army at 48 years
