**since recording, BG Kelly has changed positions. He is now the Commander of Fort Jackson**
BG Kelly sits down with us to discuss his experiences across the years. One of the early pioneers of gender integration, BG Kelly placed women into positions that were coded for men. He speaks at length about making it personal and provides an important perspective about developing a diverse team. His message is one of hope and encouragement – develop a talented, diverse pool of individuals and those people will naturally matriculate through the system. He highlights the obstacles that exist must be removed to achieve this, and offers some key ways we can achieve greater retention of our junior officers.
