概要

 After over 40 years of active duty, Wendy Wayman retired as the longest continually serving active-duty warrant officer in the United States Army. But this isn’t just a story of longevity — it’s a masterclass in resilience, technical mastery, and breaking barriers in some of the Army’s most specialized and misunderstood ranks. In this episode, Wendy shares what it means to serve with unwavering commitment across decades of military transformation — from the Cold War to Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a signals intelligence and electronic warfare expert, Wendy didn’t just operate in the shadows — she became the connective tissue between commanders and soldiers, the mentor who helped shape 34 future warrant officers, and the calm voice in chaotic moments of war. We talk about: Her unlikely start in uniform at 17. The myth and reality of the warrant officer role. What it felt like to serve in combat zones alongside her own children — pinning their ranks on during deployment. How her personal mantra, “No is just the first step to yes,” became a tool to dismantle roadblocks for others. And why retirement is just the beginning — as she now leads Whiskey Squared LLC, inspiring the next generation of technical leaders and changemakers. Wendy’s story is one of depth, grit, and profound legacy — a reminder that behind every great system is a human force keeping it together. 🎧 Listen now on Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9e628d8f-bf2f-4ab9-bc07-5417ab7df602/women-of-war iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-women-of-war-313063924/ YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6Fq25gdNK0MJGhlpa5T_NG5vIFOh9ID0 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Pu5zHeFiNYL7jH8cviDHv?si=qNrhDzo1S7WY9TTDSiUEDA Apple: https://apple.co/454tXpW 🫡 Sponsored by MilMentor — building powerful communities across the military-connected landscape.
