Q. What are your hobbies?
A. My hobbies are fitness & my online music business.

Q. When did you make the decision to become a soldier and why?

Q. If you could change one thing about the Army, what would you change and why?
A. I would not just build leaders through the noncommissioned officer education system, but rather teach soldiers intrapersonal communication skills by face-to-face workshops.

A. I would choose the position that I currently hold.
