00:00.200 --> 00:02.050
- My name is Sergeant Colin Wilson.

00:02.050 --> 00:04.700
I'm a 25 Bravo and IT specialist.

00:04.700 --> 00:07.750
And I wanted to serve my whole life

00:07.750 --> 00:10.440
really just intrinsically
wanted to do something of worth.

00:10.440 --> 00:14.140
And the military created
incredible opportunities for me

00:14.140 --> 00:17.650
to switch career fields
into a more technical field

00:17.650 --> 00:19.240
from my soft skills that I had

00:19.240 --> 00:21.023
received previously before joining.

00:22.872 --> 00:24.640
It's just been an incredible experience

00:24.640 --> 00:26.300
and I'm really glad I did it.

00:26.300 --> 00:27.790
Being in the army has given me

00:27.790 --> 00:29.430
the opportunity to travel the world.

00:29.430 --> 00:33.310
I went to 36 cities in
six countries last year.

00:33.310 --> 00:34.880
Most of which were because of the army

00:34.880 --> 00:36.960
and the opportunities they created for me.

00:36.960 --> 00:39.350
It's been very fun and learned a lot.

00:39.350 --> 00:41.410
It's helped me to grow as a person.

00:41.410 --> 00:43.460
It's been an awesome experience.

00:43.460 --> 00:45.764
I've loved my army experience.

00:45.764 --> 00:48.250
I've been treated really
well here and it helps me

00:48.250 --> 00:50.450
to grow as a person too just to make sure

00:50.450 --> 00:52.870
that I'm staying technically proficient.

00:52.870 --> 00:54.350
I've earned IT certs while I'm here

00:54.350 --> 00:55.940
that the army has helped me to get

00:55.940 --> 00:57.260
from a professional standpoint

00:57.260 --> 00:59.931
but also just focusing
on physical fitness.

00:59.931 --> 01:01.250
They've helped me to take care

01:01.250 --> 01:03.983
of my family and support them as well.

01:05.770 --> 01:08.060
The army has just afforded
me incredible opportunities

01:08.060 --> 01:10.370
all around across every facet of life.

01:10.370 --> 01:12.313
And I'm incredibly thankful for it.

01:14.925 --> 01:17.592
(upbeat music)
