Summary
Growing up on a farm taught me how to work hard. I went through high school near the top of my class and decided I was going to college. I didn't have the money though. That's when I started exploring Military options. Eventually I found that the National Guard would help me. After just a year of training I graduated my Advanced Individual Training (AIT) as a Medical Laboratory Specialist. Over that time training, and working I was proficient in multiple sections. The course was accelerated and the attrition rate was 50% but if I needed to do something I didn't only do it, I reached for the sky. Working with my peers and trainers was a great chapter of my life. Now I am back home and looking to start fresh with a great team of new and skilled professionals.
