The articles goes on to talk about how Tally became passionate about flying at an early age, as she was introduced to it by her father, [Jim Parham](https://wyche.wpengine.com/what/attorneys/lawyer/james-c-parham-jr/), via his acrobatic plane. The day she read the headlines in 1993 that the Combat Exclusion bill, excluding women from military combat roles, was repealed, she was on the phone to McEntire Air National Guard Base in Eastover, SC, to schedule an interview. In addition to now being a major in the Air National Guard, Tally is also an attorney at Wyche, with her practiced focused on various types of litigation, including intellectual property, civil and voting rights, and employment. Tally tells Chebatoris that “Flying F16s was the most thrilling, exciting, fulfilling thing that I’d ever done. It was incredibly challenging – physically and mentally – and what made it so fulfilling was that your success was objectively measured.” [*](https://wyche.com/author/insights/) [## Wyche, P.A.](https://wyche.com/author/insights/) Wyche is a full-service law firm that has practiced law and served the community for over 100 years.
