Hard work and sacrifice, without a promise of success, can often put us where we need to be when we’re called upon.
The true story of Captain Tammie Jo Shults & Flight 1380
As one of the Navy’s first female fighter pilots, this rang true for Captain Tammie Jo Shults as she faced obstacles that would stop most of us in our tracks. Even though she was recognized as a serious candidate for the military and eventually became a flight instructor, she encountered multiple closed doors.
Yet throughout her journey she stayed true to herself and her calling, learning how not to be offended by the word no and when to work around it.
In Nerves of Steel, Tammie Jo guides you through her incredible story and the challenges she had to overcome—all of which led to her helping safely land the severely crippled Southwest Flight 1380 and helping save the lives of 148 people.
Discover how to persevere through the difficult, and often disheartening times, and push through closed doors to find your purpose and follow your dreams.
