"I have worked for the US Navy since August 1999. I strongly support anyone willing to serve in the armed services. It has been a great experience. The training and support I have received in the past 15 years is invaluable to me. I can honestly say that I have experienced things that no one I grew up with will ever have the chance to see. I have traveled the world and been placed in charge of millions of dollars worth of equipment. The tuition assistance has been a lifesaver."
