Summary
I go into every job with the mentality that that location is the best. I live my life and work place in Miss-en-place. Having been in the military I take every task I am given seriously. I have always had the mentality that you need to learn your job and the job above you. And I try to pass that on to those around me. I treat everyone with respect and expect the same in return.
