Autumn Schlimmer joined the Navy with one objective; to become a Master of Arms and to become the best canine handler that she could be. Receiving high accolades during her initial entry training and all through canine handler school, she arrived at her first duty station and was immediately instructed to dye her naturally blonde hair. Forced to work graveyard shift and her canine taken from her without justification, her shipmate accused her of drug use without any evidence, nor drug test. Within ninety days of her first assignment, she was kicked out of the Navy without an actual justification. For the past decade, Autumn has been fighting the Naval Board of Corrections of Military Records to give her a proper discharge, appeal her service records, and still be able to serve as a canine handler in the civilian world. In a remarkable feat of personal resilience, Autumn has become an avid knifemaker, motorcycle rider, and still works with explosives detection within the K-9 Community.
