How long have you been in: 13 years

Why did you enlist: I enlisted into the National Guard for multiple reasons. Among them are fulfilling the camaraderie and sense of being a part of something bigger than myself that I was raised on through sports and missing when I left the Marines, and also the National Guard’s unique status of being a state and local entity. The National Guard also fully covered my tuition to Granite State College. I have a bachelor’s degree and no student loan debt
