Linguist @ United States Army in Monterey, CA
"The Army is varied in it's tasks so it's difficult to review a "job" considering there are so many. While studying Chinese at the Presidio of Monterey CA, I learned a considerable amount about time management and discipline. This helps soldier/students become highly effective and efficient in everyday life which I have brought with me to the civilian world."
