00:00.040 --> 00:02.310
mm There were several factors that

00:02.320 --> 00:04.270
influenced me joining the Army , I

00:04.270 --> 00:06.159
would say . My dad was one of the

00:06.159 --> 00:08.214
biggest contributors based on his 26

00:08.214 --> 00:10.437
year career as an MP officer . And then

00:10.437 --> 00:12.492
as well as my brother who was an air

00:12.492 --> 00:14.603
defense artillery officer , I come to

00:14.603 --> 00:16.770
work every day excited to see what the

00:16.770 --> 00:19.160
day brings and just being able to get

00:19.160 --> 00:21.600
certifications and and increased

00:21.600 --> 00:24.080
knowledge . You know , that's what I

00:24.080 --> 00:26.247
live for . The army is a hard job . It

00:26.247 --> 00:28.302
really is , it's hard on families as

00:28.302 --> 00:30.524
well . So having my family knowing that

00:30.524 --> 00:32.691
they're taken care of with medical and

00:32.691 --> 00:34.191
dental benefits as well as

00:34.191 --> 00:36.302
opportunities to , you know , live in

00:36.302 --> 00:38.358
various locations around the world .

00:38.358 --> 00:40.580
And for me personally , you know , this

00:40.580 --> 00:42.747
is a job . The ability to lead diverse

00:42.747 --> 00:44.469
groups of people has been very

00:44.469 --> 00:46.358
rewarding for me and also with my

00:46.358 --> 00:48.540
branch as an engineer officer . The

00:48.540 --> 00:50.484
fact that I have opportunities for

00:50.484 --> 00:52.690
advanced schooling and credentialing

00:52.700 --> 00:54.922
that is paid for by the army . I mean ,

00:54.922 --> 00:57.089
you can't pass that up . So I'm trying

00:57.089 --> 00:58.978
to set myself up for success post

00:58.978 --> 01:01.260
military and so I see myself going all

01:01.260 --> 01:02.950
the way . Mm

01:05.640 --> 01:07.240
mm Right . Yeah ,
