SGT Shane Huffaker - Recruiter

Join me in celebrating B CO’s newest Avenger, SPC Tolulope Oyekanmi! By enlisting in the Illinois National Guard , she’s stepping up to serve and changing the course of her family’s future. Since moving from Nigeria in 2017, SPC Oyekanmi has been driven by gratitude for the opportunities this country has given her.

Now, she’s paying it forward—gaining her citizenship while making it possible for her sons, Okiki and Henry, to become citizens, too. Enlisted as a 92Y, SPC Oyekanmi is ready to dive into this new chapter with relentless passion and purpose.

Welcome to the TEAM, SPC Oyekanmi—I am pumped to see the incredible things you’ll accomplish! 🇳🇬——> 🇺🇸🫡



P.S. It took her a little over a year and a half to make this happen… many recruiters turned her away because they didn’t want to deal with the fact that she is in her 40s! But still, she stayed persistent and never doubted it could be done! 🙂

If you have ever had just the slightest interest in joining the Illinois Army National Guard or any branch of the military, please consider joining me this SUNDAY as my guest at the RSP drill. If you are interested in coming, text BLACKHAWK to 847-212-4356!
