WEBVTT 00:04.040 --> 00:06.010 I like being a marine . Just that 00:06.010 --> 00:08.270 simple . I know it sounds like a cheesy 00:08.270 --> 00:11.790 answer but I had a lot of jobs before I 00:11.790 --> 00:13.901 came into the Marine Corps and like I 00:13.901 --> 00:16.179 always felt like something was missing . 00:16.179 --> 00:18.179 I actually got to work as a I . T . 00:18.179 --> 00:21.300 Contractor all over downtown and I felt 00:21.300 --> 00:24.370 like it wasn't it like it wasn't what I 00:24.380 --> 00:28.240 wanted to be doing right ? Yeah 00:28.640 --> 00:32.360 we can go in . So my original E . 00:32.360 --> 00:35.820 S . Was made 2020 About two weeks 00:35.830 --> 00:39.430 before it expires . Oh that came out 00:39.430 --> 00:42.160 and put it in the two years extension . 00:42.840 --> 00:45.007 It's just so many things at the Marine 00:45.007 --> 00:47.173 Corps . You can offer me the other job 00:47.173 --> 00:49.284 according to bring you off . You know 00:49.284 --> 00:51.451 it's a lot of checks and balances like 00:51.451 --> 00:53.507 yeah you might get paid more but you 00:53.507 --> 00:55.729 might not take advantage of some of the 00:55.729 --> 00:57.951 other benefits that are not really laid 00:57.951 --> 00:59.850 up for you . Um All right . Mhm . 15:45.340 --> 15:49.060 Sergeant Eddie Martinez . E . 15:50.660 --> 15:52.680 M . A . R . T . I . N . E . Z . 16:42.940 --> 16:46.930 It was a lot uh since I was 16:46.940 --> 16:48.662 a N . J . P . And early in the 16:48.662 --> 16:50.884 schoolhouse it was kind of difficult to 16:50.890 --> 16:53.220 have that . So on paper it was like oh 16:53.220 --> 16:55.331 I'm a Tier one marine because of that 16:55.331 --> 16:58.230 one Jp . I mean to to no matter I'll 16:58.230 --> 17:01.000 give my stats work . So that kind of 17:01.000 --> 17:04.940 put me already in the hole but I was 17:04.940 --> 17:08.050 in right , I didn't really affect me 17:08.050 --> 17:10.161 and putting in a package I still want 17:10.161 --> 17:12.383 to put one in . You still want to build 17:12.383 --> 17:14.560 recruiting . Mhm . I just wanted to 17:14.560 --> 17:16.616 stay in . So I decided that if I put 17:16.616 --> 17:19.380 him an sda with my reenlistment that 17:19.390 --> 17:22.160 help it was a short shot . So didn't 17:22.160 --> 17:25.770 turn out that way and once closed out 17:26.640 --> 17:28.696 I wasn't denied I could have latin . 17:29.040 --> 17:31.370 Well at the time I didn't but at the 17:31.370 --> 17:33.592 time I figured that mine or time to let 17:33.592 --> 17:36.160 me know that my package was average 17:36.160 --> 17:39.100 joe's the only in watches to move into 17:39.110 --> 17:41.320 our were interesting to me . So I 17:41.320 --> 17:45.310 decided to just just finished TRS just 17:45.320 --> 17:47.542 wait and then cope . It happened cope , 17:47.542 --> 17:51.270 it happens after I put in A one Month 17:51.270 --> 17:54.730 extension . No , so I put in a woman's 17:54.740 --> 17:57.170 extension and then I found out my 17:57.180 --> 18:00.180 hacking at and then I was reading more 18:00.180 --> 18:02.236 advanced like almost every day I was 18:02.236 --> 18:05.150 working on Cuban my package quality and 18:05.150 --> 18:07.770 marine . So like basically saying 18:08.540 --> 18:11.350 speaking my a statement saying you know 18:11.360 --> 18:14.100 what the marines to keep quiet because 18:14.100 --> 18:17.920 you can . So um I was working on 18:17.920 --> 18:20.340 that and then I was reading my activism 18:20.340 --> 18:22.800 was like everyday coping with starts to 18:22.800 --> 18:25.710 become a big thing And then , and where 18:25.710 --> 18:28.870 we came out saying you're this fiscal 18:28.870 --> 18:31.360 year and you having difficulties 18:31.370 --> 18:33.259 getting out the morning Kobe Kobe 18:33.259 --> 18:35.470 related issues really wanted to put in 18:35.470 --> 18:37.730 like across fiscal year extension . So 18:37.730 --> 18:39.952 like I was really on the phone with the 18:39.952 --> 18:42.008 career planner like almost every day 18:42.008 --> 18:44.174 about different kind of tomorrow . And 18:44.174 --> 18:46.174 so as soon as I hit him up , he was 18:46.174 --> 18:48.286 already reading tomorrow with me . So 18:48.286 --> 18:50.341 it was like , yeah , I went in and I 18:50.341 --> 18:52.341 would like to create almost another 18:52.341 --> 18:54.452 round just for the two year extension 18:54.452 --> 18:58.020 and dad , when I came through , just 18:58.030 --> 19:01.440 try to focus on how to , yeah , 19:01.940 --> 19:03.810 made me look better for another 19:03.820 --> 19:05.987 reenlistment and I would remove all my 19:05.987 --> 19:08.264 island . And then I tried to volunteer . 19:08.264 --> 19:10.620 I saw a volunteer more average for stds 19:10.620 --> 19:13.490 and I put it put one in . But because I 19:13.490 --> 19:15.657 didn't have enough time in my contract 19:15.657 --> 19:18.240 after come on , I will complete like 19:18.250 --> 19:21.760 the sda schoolhouses like will be 19:22.140 --> 19:24.251 three months in the schoolhouse , but 19:24.251 --> 19:27.220 I'll have less than two years . So I 19:27.220 --> 19:29.450 wasn't able to completely miss the A 19:29.450 --> 19:32.600 fully . So I had to just went out my 19:32.600 --> 19:34.940 physical Youtube religious putting in 19:34.940 --> 19:37.590 another package in july is coming to 19:37.590 --> 19:40.770 life of negative green list this time .
