Hey there everyone , my name is Christy

00:13.062 --> 00:15.460
Sperl . I'm from Baltimore Maryland and

00:15.460 --> 00:17.460
I go to florida State University in

00:17.460 --> 00:19.560
Tallahassee and currently I'm at L .

00:19.560 --> 00:23.110
Daq warrior forge 2011 . It's the

00:23.120 --> 00:25.342
advanced camp for everyone who's trying

00:25.342 --> 00:27.176
to be an officer who's done ROTC

00:27.176 --> 00:29.730
sometime in their college career . And

00:29.740 --> 00:31.907
so far my experiences have been really

00:31.907 --> 00:34.300
wonderful . I would definitely a tough

00:34.300 --> 00:36.356
time and it's a struggle . They do a

00:36.356 --> 00:38.522
lot of things to mimic , stress to see

00:38.522 --> 00:40.467
how we act as leaders , but it's a

00:40.467 --> 00:42.578
great experience . We've met a lot of

00:42.578 --> 00:44.578
people . Um , I'd say that RTC is a

00:44.578 --> 00:46.744
great way to be prepared for this . At

00:46.744 --> 00:48.744
my school . We've learned a lot and

00:48.744 --> 00:50.911
we're very prepared for it . Um , also

00:50.911 --> 00:53.078
I'm in a fraternity , National society

00:53.078 --> 00:55.133
of Persian Rifles and we do a lot to

00:55.133 --> 00:57.133
also prepare everyone for this . So

00:57.133 --> 00:59.133
it's really a great experience . It

00:59.133 --> 00:59.050
really made me more excited about

00:59.060 --> 01:01.171
becoming lieutenant and being able to

01:01.171 --> 01:03.116
serve my country as an active duty

01:03.116 --> 01:04.616
officer . I hope to branch

01:04.616 --> 01:06.838
quartermaster and it's really wonderful

01:06.838 --> 01:08.838
experience . I've gotten to meet so

01:08.838 --> 01:10.893
many great people and I've gotten to

01:10.893 --> 01:12.838
really open my eyes and broader my

01:12.838 --> 01:14.838
spectrum to what this career path .

01:14.838 --> 01:17.060
I've chosen . A lot of people come here

01:17.060 --> 01:16.580
thinking they'll just be a breeze to

01:16.580 --> 01:18.691
walk through it and get finished with

01:18.691 --> 01:20.747
it and then go back to school and it

01:20.747 --> 01:22.913
and it is relatively easy , but it was

01:22.913 --> 01:24.969
much more of a lesson to learn about

01:24.969 --> 01:27.136
how valuable we are and how much of an

01:27.136 --> 01:29.420
asset that we are and how much of a

01:29.430 --> 01:31.652
responsibility we have to our country ,

01:31.652 --> 01:33.763
how we're going to leading soldiers .

01:33.763 --> 01:35.874
So it was a wonderful experience than

01:35.874 --> 01:37.930
anyone who's looking to do it . They

01:37.930 --> 01:40.152
should definitely give it a try . RTC's

01:40.152 --> 01:39.480
one of the best decisions I've ever

01:39.480 --> 01:41.536
made and it's definitely leading the

01:41.536 --> 01:43.430
pack that I'm proud of they are .
