I joined the Navy my junior year of high school a year before entering serviceI began my training in Great Lakes, and from there I was assigned to Naval Hospital Newport Rhode Island. I was given many different responsibilities and assignments due to my willingness to learn In Naval Hospital Rhode Island I worked in the fiscal department approving budgets and researching cost savings inventory by looking for alternatives or bulk discount pricingWe would combine department orders to achieve lower costs to the base. My goal was to keep each department at or below budget without reducing quality of care. I would research orders to ensure orders met minimums and discount thresholds. We would combine orders and split budgets to find cost savings. After that assignment I was deployed to the United Nations in Zagreb, Croatia where I worked in a field hospital in the emergency room and a patient ward. We treated Peacekeepers and the local population to support the United Nations goal of peace and stability. The Navy then sent me to Jacksonville, NC for training to work with the Marine Corps. I was then assigned to 1st Marine Division in Camp Pendleton where I worked as the Preventive Medicine Representative for over a thousand Marines where I was personally responsible to make sure Marines were immunized for deployment and also identifying and treating communicable diseases.

Honestly, the best four years of my lifeI'm am grateful my country let me serve because I benefited more from my service in the military than the military and our nation benefited from my service.
