The Regimental Combat Team 6 Marine of the day is Sgt. Allen Scott, 28, base operations noncommissioned officer in charge, Regimental Combat Team 6, from Belleville, Ill.
He is married to Monica Scott, 28, with two girls, 10 and 6.
Scott joined the Marine Corps in September 2004. He joined because in high school he says that he never did anything and he felt that he had to prove to everyone that he could do something tough.
“My dad would have preferred the Air Force, but I was told that it’s not that tough,” Scott said. “So I decided to go Marine Corps, because they were the toughest.”
In the future Scott wants to do a tour of recruiting duty, and if he likes it, possibly become a career recruiter. He plans on staying in the Marine Corps at least 20 years, and then he wants to find a second profession.
“I may put in a warrant officer package for recruiting. It just depends on how much I like it; I’m a people person,” Scott said. “By the time I serve 20 years, I’ll be around 40. Then I’ll get out and try to work in the computer field as a system administrator or something.”
A self-confessed computer geek, Scott takes classes in computer science and is working on getting his bachelor degree. He already has three certifications in various networking and computer related fields and more than 50 college credits.
In his free time, Scott likes to spend time with his family. He takes them to the beach and also likes to search online for stuff to do.
“We’re pretty sporadic, so when I search the internet and find something we like, its, ‘Boom. Let’s go’,” Scott laughed. “I like to do anything that keeps my family outdoors and active. It’s different at home than being out here. I work 12-13 hour days, go work out, and then I go to my tent and crash. I don’t have time to do anything.”
“I want to tell my wife and kids that I love them,” Scott said. “I’d give up anything and everything to be with my family, to be together and spend those hours with them.”
