Lindy is a veteran of the United States Army, serving over 21 years before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. She spent time at Fort Bragg (NC), Fort Huachuca (AZ), Yongsan (ROK), Schofield Barracks (HI) and Fort Hood (TX). She deployed several times, including Operation Just Cause in Panama, Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and Operation Joint Forge in Bosnia.
