WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SERVE AND WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO JOIN THE ARMY?
“My father was in the Army. Serving is something that I believe everyone should do. It runs in my Family, and I felt obligated to follow in my Family’s footsteps and more importantly, to pay my debts to this wonderful country.”
HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THE BEST SQUAD COMPETITION AND WHAT IS YOUR REASONING FOR COMPETING
“I prepared by working out with my squad leader, acclimating to the hot weather outside. My reason to compete is that I wanted to test myself and see what my limits were.”
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO COMPETE IN THE ARMY BEST SQUAD COMPETITION? WHAT DID YOU ENJOY THE MOST AND WHY?
“It is important to compete to build camaraderie with your squad and connections with those you serve with. I enjoyed the range the most, because it is just plain fun.”
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE GOALS?
“Attain the BS in Cybersecurity, and work as the head of cybersecurity at a large organization.”
IS THERE ANYONE YOU'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE? A ROLE MODEL?
“I would like to thank my Squad Leader, Staff Sgt. Michael Hildreth, my wife, Danielle, and my First Sergeant, 1st Sgt. Elliot. Without these three individuals, I would not have been able to achieve the access I did at the Brigade's Best Squad Competition.”
