Introduction

Hello all,

I'm a college senior recently sworn into DEP with an 18X contract. I ship to OSUT in a little under a year; meanwhile I'm finishing up my degree and getting myself physically and mentally prepared for the demands of military service.

This past summer, I worked for a couple former Soldiers who were Infantry officers in the 75th. Knowing that I was an Army hopeful, They encouraged me to look into the 18X program. After a few months of internet research, phone calls, and face-to-face conversations with current and former Quiet Professionals, I made my commitment and enlisted as an X-ray.

The FID aspect of the SF mission is what really drew me. Foreign languages and cultures have always been an interest of mine, and teaching is one of my great passions. I see the path ahead of me as a way to combine these loves and be a positive contributor on a global stage.

Best Regards.
