"I've worked in the Marine Corps since August 30th 2010. I enjoyed the places that I have been around the world and the people I have met. I have personally done more things in 4 years than most people ever do their entire lifetime. The experience that I have gained is for more than what I expected upon joining the Armed Forces. Being a Communication Specialist in the Military gave me high responsibility and many challenges upon the expectations that were asked of me."
