Nursing grad, Army sergeant earns degree after deployment
In 2016, Travis Fannin joined the Kentucky Army National Guard as a combat medic, following in his Army father’s footsteps. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, he was first sent to Louisville to aid in pandemic relief before being deployed to Poland as part of Operation European Deterrence. After returning to the U.S. he “relearned how to be in college again” and credits his nursing academic advisor for helping him finally earn his bachelor’s degree, nearly a decade after he began.
