00:01.292 --> 00:04.760
- I saw the Army as an opportunity
to become a bigger person

00:04.760 --> 00:07.320
and be a part of something
bigger than myself.

00:07.320 --> 00:08.986
My name is Daniel Gil and I work

00:08.986 --> 00:11.670
for Charlie Company in
the 601st Battalion.

00:11.670 --> 00:15.680
I'm a 25Q, so a Multi-Channel
Transmission System Operator.

00:15.680 --> 00:20.090
We maintain systems that
have to do with services

00:20.090 --> 00:22.740
along with radios, internet data.

00:22.740 --> 00:26.300
I joined the Army because I
saw an opportunity to grow.

00:26.300 --> 00:28.360
The Army gave me an opportunity

00:28.360 --> 00:31.610
to just experience life
in a different way.

00:31.610 --> 00:33.700
I never woulda had the
opportunity to travel

00:33.700 --> 00:36.400
to Germany if it weren't for the Army.

00:36.400 --> 00:39.280
With this job I'm basically
surrounded by family.

00:39.280 --> 00:41.110
You always have someone there for you.

00:41.110 --> 00:44.990
Having by battles around just
makes my day go by faster

00:44.990 --> 00:48.610
because our days can be very
long and can be very stressful.

00:48.610 --> 00:50.910
Them being there makes it a lot easier

00:50.910 --> 00:52.780
and then when you go travel with them

00:52.780 --> 00:55.970
it just becomes a better
experience because you're not alone

00:55.970 --> 00:58.410
and you're able to experience
something that's like

00:58.410 --> 01:01.413
once in a lifetime with
people that you care about.
