A former Miss America winner announced Tuesday that she enlisted in the U.S. Air Force.


Teresa Scanlon, who won the Miss America pageant in 2011, is now an Airman First Class in the Air National Guard, according to The Press of Atlantic City.

“I am beyond honored and humbled to announce that I am now officially an A1C in the Air National Guard and graduated Air Force Basic Training as an Honor Graduate (top 10%) last weekend,” Scanlon wrote on Instagram. “The title of “airman” is one I proudly hold and I hope to represent the Air Force well.”

Scanlon, who is also a law student at UC Berkley, is no stranger to the military.

Since winning the pageant, she has done several USO tours, visited Walter Reed and Bethesda military hospitals and several military installations.

Here’s some of what Scanlon did with the military before joining:
