Maj. Gillian
Dulle first joined the Saskatchewan Dragoons after visiting their booth at a
career fair.
“I needed a
job and there was a career fair and it looked like the right job at the right
time,” she said. “To me it was during when I was in high school and working one
to two times a week and two weekends a month and making the same as what
someone works pumping gas at the gas station every day. It really appealed to
me and I got in and I would say that I found my niche. Once I got in, I knew
that this is somewhere I was supposed to be.”
She began her
military career with the Saskatchewan Dragoons as a reconnaissance crewman
private in 2003. She commissioned as an armoured reconnaissance officer in May
2006 and was promoted to captain in 2010.
On Saturday, outgoing
commanding officer (CO) Maj. Chris Hunter relinquished command of the
Saskatchewan Dragoons unit to Dulle during a change of command ceremony at the
Lt. Col. D.V. Currie Armoury. Her term as the 19th CO of the unit is
for three years.
