"Capt. Jennifer Peace is a transgender JBLM soldier. The Army has known that Peace is a woman for almost a year but still refers to her as a man. She's awaiting a Pentagon policy change that's expected within the next year that will allow transgender soldiers to serve openly. Peace is a twice-deployed veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan.
