"I have been in the Navy for 5 years. I would consider the military to be a great stepping stone for someone who is just graduating High School. While being in the Navy I learned a lot of helpful tools and programs. I would recommend this job to young people. The service provided health care and life insurance. While in the military you can learn leadership skills and how to manage a group of people. It also taught me how to work with people and understand people from multiple backgrounds."

Only the best man for the job!"
