Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center Transcript of an Oral History Interview with SHERI A. SWOKOWSKI Administration Supply Technician, Infantry Officer, Army National Guard 2018 OH 2135 OH 2135 Swokowski, Sheri A., (1950–). Oral History Interview, 2018. Approximate length: 3 hours 51 minutes Contact WVM Research Center for access to original recording. Summary: In this oral history interview, Sheri A. Swokowski discusses her service as an infantry officer in the Army National Guard from 1970 to 2004, including her integral role in the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s restructuring and force management, and her work as an advocate for transgender rights. Sheri grew up in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and recounts her family’s military history which inspired her from a young age to pursue a life of service. In 1970, Swokowski enlisted in the Wisconsin Army National Guard in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and attended basic training at Fort Lewis, Washington. She discusses her training, the way the draftees were encouraged to compete with the national guard soldiers, and the lasting impressions of a few of her drill instructors. She received training as a supply specialist at Fort Lewis and training as an 11C, a mortar specialist, back at her unit in Wisconsin. In 1973, she received a full-time position as administrative supply technician in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, with Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 128th Infantry. Swokowski describes meeting Gary Wetzel, Medal of Honor recipient, two times in her life. Swokowski describes what it was like to be a young transwoman in Manitowoc and in the national guard. Throughout the interview she discusses the hardships of living inauthentically and changes that occurred in the trans community, including learning about Renée Richards and Christine Jorgenson. -
