U.S. Army Sgt. Maciel Hay, who grew up in Rocklin, California, has defied the odds by becoming the first active duty female Army sniper. Hay, who was initially told she wouldn't make it in the Army or become a sniper, has achieved this historic milestone. Captain Hansja Sharma has also made history by being awarded the 'SilverCheetah' trophy for topping the Combat Aviators Course No. 40, becoming the first woman officer to earn this honor in CATS history. Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi congratulated Sharma on her feat.
