mm hmm . Hi ,

00:04.710 --> 00:06.654
I am Sergeant , first class Nathan

00:06.654 --> 00:08.654
Shaffer . I am a recruiter with the

00:08.654 --> 00:10.654
Maryland Army National Guard . What

00:10.654 --> 00:12.543
inspired me to join American Army

00:12.543 --> 00:14.766
National Guard ? I was currently active

00:14.766 --> 00:16.988
duty . I was infantry and in the Army I

00:16.988 --> 00:19.099
had a seven-year break in service . I

00:19.099 --> 00:20.988
used to build houses and when the

00:20.988 --> 00:23.099
market crashed in 2008 I needed those

00:23.099 --> 00:25.321
benefits . So I have to see if I have a

00:25.321 --> 00:27.654
talent . It would probably be carpenter .

00:27.654 --> 00:29.821
I started in a vote tech , a carpentry

00:29.821 --> 00:32.260
program in 1996 . Um , where I went

00:32.260 --> 00:34.427
through a two year carpentry program .

00:34.427 --> 00:36.880
I went on the civilian side and built

00:36.880 --> 00:39.860
for three years . Mhm

00:42.340 --> 00:44.396
I will leave you with these words of

00:44.396 --> 00:46.451
wisdom from john Lennon life is what

00:46.451 --> 00:48.673
happens when you're busy making plans .

00:50.740 --> 00:51.060
Mm hmm .
