FORT JACKSON, S.C. (AP) - The Army's Drill Sergeant School at Fort Jackson gets a new commander next week.

Command Sgt. Maj. Teresa King will be the first woman to take over at the school that trains the Army's drill sergeants.

The 48-year-old King is a 28-year Army veteran. The sharecropper's daughter from North Carolina says she's used to breaking down barriers in military roles normally reserved for men.

King says she enjoys passing her values to young soldiers and watching them grow into senior officers and enlisted men and women.

Congratulations to Sgt. Maj. King - obviously, a woman of courage and substance. Another glass ceiling shattered is one more step toward gender equality.
