After fulfilling her service commitment, including time as an instructor pilot, Jan left active duty to become a commercial airline pilot for a major carrier.

She served on the Veterans' Policy Team for the Obama Campaign and subsqeuent to his election ran for Rahm Emanuel's Congressional seat in Chigago following his departure to become President Obama's Chief of Staff.
