Rampy is from Lawton, Oklahoma. Rampy started college at the University of Oklahoma, but later transferred to Cameron University where she joined the ROTC program to pay for college.[1] She later graduated from Cameron University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and decided to make a career of military service. In May 1996, Rampy was commissioned as an Adjutant General's Corps officer into the United States Army as a distinguished military graduate.[2]
