Personal life Yeager is married to retired Lieutenant Colonel Curtis Yeager. They have four adult sons. She left active duty and entered the Army Reserve when their first son was born, saying it would be difficult for them both to be on active duty at the same time. When her husband retired, Yeager took a full-time position with the California National Guard. She has commented that, "As a female, I feel like the Guard and Reserve components are such a great way to serve and yet still have some good family-life balance." She was a member of Grizzly Gabbers from 2015 to 2019, a Toastmasters club based in Sacramento and sponsored by the California National Guard. See also Ann E.
