MS GINA GREW UP IN THE UK
"Gina Cheri Walker was born in Ashland, Kentucky, on October 1, 1956, the oldest of five siblings. Her father served in the U.S. Air Force, and Haspel attended high school in the United Kingdom. She had wanted to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, but it wasn’t accepting female applicants at the time. Instead, Haspel earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism and languages from the University of Louisville in 1978. She was married briefly to Jeff Haspel, who served in the U.S. Army.
After graduation, Haspel took a job with the 10th Special Forces Group at Ft. Devens in Massachusetts as a contractor to run the library and foreign language lab. There, an Army officer named Michael Vickers encouraged Haspel to join the CIA. Vickers would later work for the CIA and subsequently served as undersecretary of defense for intelligence in the Barack Obama administration."
