First Lieutenant Merriann E. McBride McKillip, in a presentation at the Glendale Federal Savings and Loan in Laguna Hills, CA, discusses her service in the U.S. Army Reserve Ordnance Corp and her deployment for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. McKillip talks about graduating from ROTC in 1986, the job of the Ordinance Corps to deploy transportation and field service units and being sent to Korea, Honduras, and Japan on training exercises.
