During her internship year, Maryann went to Fort Bragg, North Carolina and completed paratrooper training; she is now authorized to wear the maroon beret of the Airborne Infantry and her 'jump wings'. She also spent two months with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (but actually worked out of the New York headquarters of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage_Control_%28comics%29 Damage Control] as part of their contractual obligation to help train military personnel for special large-scale demolition and reconstruction projects involving 'extranormal circumstances and individuals'); during this time, she wore the rank of Second Lieutenant. When Maryann returned to USAES for the funeral of [[Professor Richard Hiram Blumenberg]], she was allowed to wear her active-duty U.S. Army dress uniform and beret as a sign of respect (as the other members of [[The Alliance]] were also allowed to wear active-duty attire; [[Julia Carlyle]] wore civilian clothing and her provisional F.B.I. Special Agent badge with a black band around it).
As part of her special training protocols with ''The Alliance'', Professor Blumenberg made special arrangements with elements within the Department of Defense for Maryann to be attached to [http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Homeworld_Command ''Homeworld Command'' (formerly the ''Department of Homeworld Security'')] for short-term duty assignments throughout her time at USAES, and a six-month tour during her internship year. During the winter break of her year as a Cadet First Year (Senior year), Maryann was selected to accompany [http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/SG_team an SG-team] on a ''First Contact'' mission to a previously unknown world. During her internship year, Maryann was also allowed to travel aboard the [http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/George_Hammond ''USS George Hammond'' (a ''Dadelus-class'' starship)] during a familiarization cruise for ''Project Starseed'' personnel, and was certified in the use of the standard Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) used by NASA astronauts, and the armed EVA/tactical unit used by Marine Astronauts. Because of these events, Maryann was awarded the ''U.S. Army Astronaut Badge'', and the USAES ''Pathfinder'' certification - two of the rarest awards that can be presented to a member of the United States Armed Forces.
