JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – News4JAX is highlighting reporter Andrea Snody as Military Appreciation Month continues, as she prepares to spend three weeks on active duty with the Pennsylvania National Guard.
“I will be gone for the next three weeks,” Snody said. “I have been put on active duty orders, and I will be back on Monday, June 8, back on the morning show.”
Snody, a human resources officer, said much of her work involves personnel issues and administration, though she sometimes gets the chance to take part in field activities. She said she could not discuss specifics of the Guard’s current mission.
Asked about the change, Snody said serving with the Guard requires balancing two roles.
“When duty calls, that means you have to go,” she said.
Her parents live near her guard base in Maryland, and she said it will be nice for them to see her in person while she is on orders.
Snody said she looks forward to returning to the Morning Show on June 8.
