Kelly Carbary

My dear friend Kelly Carbary is a 16-year Michigan Army National Guard (MIARNG) veteran who has now begun a different path in her military career. In 2006 Kelly enlisted as an army supply specialist and transitioned to the dark side to become an army commissioned officer in 2010; commissioning from the University of Michigan as an army aviator. She pushed herself through many challenges in her military career, to include successfully passing Airborne School, Air Assault School, SERE School, and obtaining a commercial pilot certificate for rotor wing aircraft in the UH-60 A/L/M Black Hawk. But her story doesn’t stop there! Influenced by her grandfather’s resilience and grit, and by her time as a military leader, she decided to embark down a road towards working in another difficult career – Medicine. She will graduate from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2023 as an Osteopathic Physician, and she has goals to stay in the MIARNG as a flight surgeon. Listen as she explains her story, all while encouraging everyone to be kind to themselves because too often we are strong and kind to others, but we sometimes forget to do the same for ourselves. Peace. Love. COM.
