Review:

I can say I am grateful for the time I served and for the people I met. The personal growth and experiences available by the military is like none other. Although management wasn’t always as supportive as it should have been, it still did not take away from all the diverse backgrounds and promotional opportunities available. The hardest part about this job has to be being away from my family and friends. It was also hard learning how to become proficient in a high visibility and high pace environment. Talk about multitasking to the highest degree!
