Hi , I'm Tech Sergent Reagan Esco with

00:10.569 --> 00:12.347
the Oregon Air Guard and I am a

00:12.347 --> 00:14.458
recruiter for the Oregon Air National

00:14.458 --> 00:16.680
Guard . Typically I always start my day

00:16.680 --> 00:18.847
with uh checking all the emails that I

00:18.847 --> 00:21.319
get . I then follow up with any people

00:21.329 --> 00:23.440
who are interested in the air guard .

00:23.440 --> 00:25.607
And then hopefully I get a break and I

00:25.607 --> 00:27.829
get to go to a school visit or an event

00:27.829 --> 00:29.940
and hopefully generate more qualified

00:29.940 --> 00:33.299
applicants for the air guard . Being a

00:33.369 --> 00:35.258
to be a recruiter tend to be very

00:35.258 --> 00:37.369
stressful . They have high numbers on

00:37.369 --> 00:39.425
them in the air guard . We're really

00:39.425 --> 00:41.591
lucky in that we do the job tours , we

00:41.591 --> 00:43.536
tour them on the base . We also do

00:43.536 --> 00:45.702
their enlistment with them . And after

00:45.702 --> 00:47.869
that , we're still around at the guard

00:47.869 --> 00:49.980
base . So we get to watch them go off

00:49.980 --> 00:52.147
to basic training , tech school , come

00:52.147 --> 00:54.313
back into the form . So that part is a

00:54.313 --> 00:56.147
lot more rewarding and we get to

00:56.147 --> 00:58.091
actually have friendships with our

00:58.091 --> 00:57.939
applicants because we got to see them

00:57.950 --> 01:00.520
go from not ever being in the air guard

01:00.529 --> 01:02.585
to all the way coming back and being

01:02.585 --> 01:05.349
proficient airmen on the base . So I

01:05.360 --> 01:08.319
have my husband , Chris and I have two

01:08.330 --> 01:10.959
Children . I have a two year old boy

01:10.970 --> 01:13.089
named Corbin and I have a seven year

01:13.099 --> 01:15.099
old daughter named Mia . During the

01:15.099 --> 01:17.321
summer time , we try to go camping . We

01:17.321 --> 01:19.488
have a toy hauler . So we try to bring

01:19.488 --> 01:21.432
our side by side out . And then my

01:21.432 --> 01:23.655
husband rides quads . My daughter has a

01:23.655 --> 01:25.877
quad now and she's learned to that . So

01:25.877 --> 01:27.932
camping , going out to the coast and

01:27.932 --> 01:30.043
the sand dunes , that's kind of a big

01:30.043 --> 01:32.266
deal for our family . That's our family

01:32.266 --> 01:33.988
time together . Recruiting has

01:33.988 --> 01:35.988
positively impacted my life because

01:35.988 --> 01:37.710
I've had a lot of really great

01:37.710 --> 01:39.599
opportunities to work with people

01:39.599 --> 01:41.821
outside the military and show them more

01:41.821 --> 01:43.988
about what the military is about . And

01:43.988 --> 01:46.660
it has just been really rewarding doing

01:46.669 --> 01:48.779
recruiting , been really fun for me .
