## Biography

SFC. Ashley Fox (born on 10th of November, 1951) is an active duty US Army MP Officer and a former Special Forces' Operator. She was born on the Eastern Coast, in Maine, United States. Her father, being a WWII Veteran, suffering from PTSD taught Ashley to be hard in the world, being harsh on her himself. She always tried to rise up to her father's expectations, never wanting to bring any dissapointment. Ashley never got any siblings and was the only child.

### Before War

Upon finishing High School, Ashley decided to join the Military, in 1970. It was extremely hard for her, due to her being a woman, as she was looked down upon, nobody really trusted her and believed that she could make it, but Ashley proved herself being worthy. After completing the BCT, she spent under 2 Years as an 11B Infantryman, as Active Duty, gaining a promotion. During those two years she was stationed at Würzburg, Germany. Upon returning to Maine, she transfered to US Army Reserves and decided to help her family due to her father's decaying health. With her experience in Germany and memories of the beautiful landscapes, she decided to learn more about Germany, despite it's attrosities during the WWII, also learning the German language.

In 1973, her father died due to cancer. Ashley decided to get back to the military and applied for the US Army SF course, becoming one of the first female candidates. Just like in the BCT, it was hard, even harder to even get accepted, but due to Ashley being such strong-minded, she kept on going and completeting the required courses and became a Weapons Sergeant. During the next few years, she traveled the Western World a bit, moving from 1 US Base to another, through those placed in the UK, Norway, France, Eastern Germany and even Italy. Through those years she was promoted to Staff Sergeant.

### War

Once the NATO assault on Poland began Ashley's Platoon was sent on a dangerous mission in Eastern Poland, where she was seriously injured. Ashley was promoted to Sergeant First Class and recieved the Purple Heart. Succesfuly recovering, Ashley still wasn't in the greatest shape and due to the lowering Manpower, she was transfered to the MP Corps.
