00:02.609 --> 00:04.929
As an I Reserve ambassador , we work

00:04.940 --> 00:06.940
throughout the community at various

00:06.940 --> 00:08.718
levels with state legislators ,

00:08.718 --> 00:10.662
sometimes and occasionally federal

00:10.662 --> 00:14.069
legislators . I am in Maryland . So I

00:14.079 --> 00:16.809
work with local Reserve units and

00:16.819 --> 00:18.763
educating the public about the Arm

00:18.763 --> 00:22.250
Reserve and also offering to nominate

00:22.260 --> 00:24.149
students who are eligible for the

00:24.149 --> 00:27.090
Minuteman scholarship . I

00:27.100 --> 00:30.750
enjoy the program because I can see the

00:30.760 --> 00:33.810
impacts and the impact comes when I get

00:33.819 --> 00:36.770
an email or even a text from a parent

00:36.779 --> 00:39.290
saying thank you for helping my son or

00:39.299 --> 00:41.470
daughter attend college

00:43.540 --> 00:46.479
for future Army Reserve ambassadors . I

00:46.490 --> 00:49.400
think the largest challenge is to find

00:49.409 --> 00:52.919
whatever your natural activities are .

00:52.930 --> 00:55.189
So whatever you do as an army Reserve

00:55.200 --> 00:57.367
ambassador , there should be something

00:57.367 --> 00:59.589
that you're already doing that can make

00:59.589 --> 01:01.367
an impact on the Army Reserve .

01:03.619 --> 01:05.508
As an army Reserve ambassador , I

01:05.508 --> 01:07.452
consider myself as a connector . I

01:07.452 --> 01:10.319
connect the community , family members

01:10.330 --> 01:13.500
with the person who can address their

01:13.510 --> 01:16.120
issues or concerns and the feedback and

01:16.129 --> 01:17.962
expressions of gratitude been so

01:17.962 --> 01:19.740
rewarding . So I appreciate the

01:19.740 --> 01:20.000
opportunity .
