Upon completion of bootcamp at Parris Island, I turned 18 years old and served at Twenty-Nine Palms, CA. In my time stationed on the west coast, I achieved MOS of Defense Message System Specialists. Throughout the course of 6 years, I trained in various locations, including Puerta Rico, Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, Minnesota, and Minneapolis while earning the ranking of E5 (Sergeant).

One of the best things I took from being in the USMC is the discipline developed to achieve goals at a high level and always work to the end of everything you do in life.
