Hometown News: Tameka Wilson
Tameka S. Wilson has joined the United States Army under the Delayed Entry Program. The program gives young men and women the opportunity to delay entering active duty for up to one year.
The enlistment gives the new soldier the option to learn a new skill, travel and become eligible to receive as much as $50,000 toward a college education.
After completion of basic military training, soldiers receive advanced individual training in their career job specialty prior to being assigned to their first permanent duty station.
The recruit qualifies for a $8,000 enlistment bonus.
Wilson graduated in 1997 from Jefferson Davis High School, and received bachelor's degree in 2005 from Faulkner University, both in Montgomery. She will report to Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C., for basic training in May 2009.
She is the daughter of Donna Billlups of Hollybrook Lane, and Winston Wilson of Taylor Oaks Circle, both of Montgomery.
