Pvt. Anthony James, a 92F, petroleum supply specialist, with the Maryland National Guard’s 1229th Transportation Company, out of Baltimore, Maryland, is called for his first mission in his first year in the National Guard. When a new recruit raises their right hand and swears into the military, there are many feelings. This momentous occasion signifies the start of a new chapter in the life of that recruit. During the state’s response to the COVID-19 virus, Soldiers like James will be tasked to distribute meals and schoolwork, deliver medical supplies and equipment, and set up testing sites. Being called up to serve can be stressful, but for James, he relishes the opportunity. He said he enjoys day-to-day interactions with people and the ability to do the job the army trained him to do. James has kept a positive outlook during the activation and looks to maintain that outlook throughout his military career. He’s just getting started.
