Fox News
A female soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade made history by becoming the first active duty woman to complete the Army's elite sniper school and qualify as a sniper.
"My nickname growing up was 'Sniper,'" Hay said, according to the release.
Her desire to live out that nickname led her to the Army, where she made it through basic training while qualifying as an expert on the M4 rifle. She then passed through the Army's Airborne School, serving with the 173rd before finally getting her opportunity to attend sniper school.
