"I have worked as an Electronics Technician for the United States Marine Corps for 4 years and 8 months. A typical day consisted of troubleshooting, hardware and software implementation, preventive maintenance and soldering. I have learned a lot over these past years--about my job and myself--and built a very solid friendship with my co-workers and immediate supervisors. I surely will never forget my experience with the USMC and hope to benefit a company with my acquired skills."
