Rank: MAJ (Ret.)
There isn't enough space that will allow me to state why I'm proud of my military service, however, I will start by saying I don't want to think about the outcome of what I would've become had I not joined. I was able to become the best version of myself while serving. I left for the Army after high school, and it was the best decision that I've made yet. I accomplished everything that I set out to accomplish. I joined active duty as a PVT/E-1 and made it to the rank of SFC/E-7 on the enlisted side. After completing 3 years on the drill sergeant trail, I put in an Officer Candidate School (OCS) packet and was selected. The officer transition took me from 2LT to Major in which I retired. I traveled and met battle buddies for life on the enlisted and officer sides.
