Fifty years ago this month, women entered the #FBI Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia, for the first time. In celebration of a half-century of female special agents, Director Christopher Wray met with a group of women who blazed Bureau history. #WomenWearTheBadge 
Susan Roley Malone, a U.S. Marine-turned-special agent, was one of the first two women agents in the #FBI's modern history. She entered duty on July 17, 1972. #WomenWearTheBadge go.usa.gov/xSWfU
JoAnn Sakato, the #FBI's first Asian American woman special agent, spent almost a quarter-century working everything from civil rights and white-collar crime to fugitives and foreign counterintelligence. #WomenWearTheBadge go.usa.gov/xSWGA
Christine M. Jung, another U.S. Marine Corps veteran, was the #FBI's first female firearms instructor and the first woman agent to shoot a "possible," or a perfect score on the Bureau's Practical Pistol Range. #WomenWearTheBadge go.usa.gov/xSWfF
Kathleen Adams, a police officer-turned-special agent, was the #FBI's first female SWAT operator, and went on to become a SWAT team Lead. #WomenWearTheBadge
