00:00.941 --> 00:03.670
- All right, why do I
serve as a Signal solider?

00:03.670 --> 00:06.520
When I first came into the
army about 19 years ago

00:06.520 --> 00:08.413
I initially came in as a cable dog.

00:09.923 --> 00:13.130
I think my recruiter convinced me that

00:13.130 --> 00:13.963
(officer laughs)

00:13.963 --> 00:15.120
that it was gonna be a cool job

00:15.120 --> 00:17.520
and that I get to run
cable in offices and stuff.

00:17.520 --> 00:20.143
I eventually re-classed in 25 uniform.

00:20.990 --> 00:24.040
I think Signal, what has
been the most important to me

00:24.040 --> 00:26.550
is because it really
does make a difference.

00:26.550 --> 00:27.500
is because it really
does make a difference.

00:27.500 --> 00:30.430
You can't do anything without us.

00:30.430 --> 00:33.180
You can't move, you can't
shoot, you can't communicate.

00:34.550 --> 00:37.760
And then second part of
why I serve is simple.

00:37.760 --> 00:40.835
I think I've been raised
under the fundamental of

00:40.835 --> 00:44.490
you know, I'm just here to help soldiers,

00:44.490 --> 00:45.920
to inspire soldiers.

00:45.920 --> 00:48.015
In other words, take care of soldiers.

00:48.015 --> 00:49.881
And I love that part of it,

00:49.881 --> 00:51.480
and I'ma miss it when I'm gone.

00:51.480 --> 00:52.313
All right.
