What does it take for a Marine air traffic controller to make the leap from the flight line to the Ivy League? In this episode, you’ll hear from a Marine who achieved that goal through determination, hard work and the support of the Marine Corps Leadership Scholar Program.
Host Bruce Moody speaks with Education Services Officer Rubie Blue at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego and Joey Cano, a veteran Marine and undergraduate student at Harvard University. They discuss the Marine Corps LSP, the challenges and successes of pursuing higher education as a service member and how education centers help service members reach their academic and career goals.
