    “As a high school dropout, the Army provided me a certain level of discipline that I really needed, and it changed my life. I retired with a master's degree in program management and as a U.S. Army chief warrant officer 2, promotable,” said Herb Gately, who served for nearly 21 years in uniform, 5 years as a contractor in direct support of Soldiers, and now 15 years as an Army civilian employee.
