Being a military mom means the world to me. I have the opportunity to shape young minds both at home and at work. It’s certainly not easy at times, requiring tremendous sacrifice, courage, and heartache, but the end result is so worth it! Capt.

I wanted to share a photo of my military mom, Ms. Judy Guzman. My mom spent only three years in the U.S. Army but left as an E-5 (Sergeant). During her final year in Frankfurt Germany (USAG-Wiesbaden), she was named “Soldier of the Year” and would have gladly done 20 more years in the military if given the opportunity. She married a fellow soldier and then raised three children while being transferred every few years around the world. My mom is a great inspiration to me and a huge reason I decided to work on a military base. She’s a rock star.

My mom, Georgette Mongaya Beltran, was born in 1941, during a turbulent time in the Philippines. She had a gift for music and had a golden voice. During the Japanese retreat in 1945, at 4 years old, she was made to sing the Japanese national anthem for a platoon of IJA soldiers. They were impressed. She was the second youngest of 12 siblings of the Mongaya family. She was an ice candy vendor, kindergarten teacher, radio host for a children’s program, choir conductor, singer, pianist, music producer, record and CD artist, composer, painter, magna cum laude in psychology, health benefits coordinator for the state of Maryland, and an ordained Protestant minister. In 1980, she became a U.S. Army Captain. She and my dad, retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Frank J. Beltran, were the first husband and wife U.S. Army chaplain team in the Armed Forces. She was as generous as they come. Her grandchildren were the apple of her eye. On the morning of June 9, 2022, she was called home. Now 82 years later, the world is again in a turbulent time. This time it will have to endure without her earthly presence. Paul Beltran works in the Information Technology Department at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

It always brings me joy to see my son interested in the military and giving back to our country. He walked me though my Senior Noncommissioned Officer Recognition ceremony in his ROTC uniform and was very proud to wear his uniform beside me. He is firm in joining the military and I look forward to him serving in any capacity he wishes. He is my stepson and I have been his mom for all his life, minus one year. He is my pride and joy!

I have been a single mother for most of my career. Being a Soldier Citizen means having the capacity to forge through many demands with grace and balance. The Warrior ethos – I will never quit – means never failing to be the best mother I can be while also ensuring that everyone I serve gets the best version of me whenever possible.
I am who I am because of the loving support of my own mother and champion, my faith leaders, those I work for, and my own personal courage to be a better version of myself every day. Being a military mom is the epitome of balancing love, discipline, and ambition. I started out as a private and am now a captain. With every step, my beautiful daughter has been there to cheer me on my journey to greatness just as I celebrate every accomplishment she achieves. In fact, I just got my active duty orders assigning me to DDEAMC A Co. Capt. R. J. (Jody) Reid, a Nurse Consult Patient Safety Manager at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center, and United States Army Reserve Registered Nurse for the 7459 Medical Operations Readiness Unit at Fort Gordon.

My son, Robert, was born on Mother’s Day 21 years ago this year – he always tells me that he’s my gift, and it’s true! Being a mom to four amazing children (two older siblings not pictured here) is what defines me. Being a military mom, sets me apart. I am so extremely proud of him for his grit and determination to become a U.S. Marine. The Marine Corps made him a man, but he will always be my baby. Even though we’re miles apart right now, he is in my heart, always.
