The current public record now supports a tighter but still incomplete military chronology for Jessica Killin. The strongest new primary anchor is Congress.gov PN406, which places Jessica W Killin in the 1995 Reserve Officer's Training Corps cadet appointment list for Regular Army second lieutenant nominations, received on 1995-05-23 and confirmed by voice vote on 1995-05-25. Her resume then supplies the broad service span, rank, and branch: U.S. Army, Captain, Military Police Corps, 1995-05 to 2003-04.
Two long-form interview transcripts add the most detailed public role language: Killin describes a four-year Army ROTC scholarship, Fort Benning airborne / paratrooper training, some time at Fort Bragg, service mostly overseas, military-police work, platoon-leader work, Operation Joint Endeavor / Joint Guard, Balkans peacekeeping, maneuver-and-mobility support from Hungary to Bosnia, and company executive-officer / company-commander work in Central Europe during NATO expansion. Those are direct self-descriptions, not orders or official school records.
The latest source pass resolves the Military Police Professional Bulletin retrieval bottleneck for the target article. Interactive HathiTrust full-view access captured page images and OCR for PB 19-98-1, Winter 1998, pages 8-11 / sequences 328-331. The article identifies Killin as the author and gives an article-time assignment as executive officer of 560th MP Co (Customs). That is direct duty-context evidence for the article date, but not a complete assignment history or deployment record.

The article gives a role when written, not start/end dates, official orders, deployment windows, school records, awards, or a complete personnel-status sequence. It does not by itself prove Killin's personal Operation Joint Endeavor / Joint Guard deployment dates. |

The evidence is strong enough to describe Killin as a former Army officer whose public record includes ROTC-to-Army commissioning context, Military Police Corps service, captain rank by resume, one article-time 560th MP Co duty marker, and direct campaign / interview claims of paratrooper and overseas peacekeeping experience. The evidence is not strong enough to state a complete unit sequence, exact deployment start and end dates, official school completion dates, award sequence, or a complete active-duty status chronology.
The Superstars / 95th MP thread has moved from locator lead to sourceable article context. The article now directly supports Killin's article-time assignment to 560th MP Co (Customs) and places the article subject in a 95th MP Battalion Exercise Urban Star I context. It still does not supply Killin's full unit-assignment chronology, her personal Operation Joint Endeavor / Joint Guard deployment dates, or official school / award records.
560th MP Co (Customs) is now resolved for PB 19-98-1, but start/end dates, prior/later units, and the formal relationship between that role and her claimed OJE/OJG service remain unresolved.1995-05 to 2003-04 resume span was active duty, reserve status, mixed status, or another personnel-status sequence.560th MP Co (Customs) and 95th MP Battalion rosters / unit histories, airborne school graduation records, deployment rosters, award orders, and event programs naming Killin.MPJournal@army.mil or DVIDS support for follow-up records around Exercise Urban Star I and the 560th MP Co assignment.
