Then Capt. Shannon Dee Revit showed incredible resilience by vowing to retire with honor once she returned to her beloved 166th MDG in New Castle, DE. While the next five years were fraught with incredible obstacles as she battled for medical and mental health care while also vowing to break the 166th AW's stigma surrounding mental health issues, Maj. Revit successfully completed her 20+ year duty and proudly retired on April 1, 2022.
