Given her family’s military lineage, Clancy Morrical seemed destined to become a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force.
Her father served in the Vietnam War as a helicopter pilot, while her mother is a retired physical therapist with the U.S. Army. And Morrical’s grandmother was in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
