    Q: Why did you join the Army?

    A: The fact that I was able to choose my job was a big draw for me. It was nice to have a little more say in what I’d be doing.

    Q: Why did you choose your MOS?

    A: I signed up for 35G because it was an intriguing concept. I also saw benefits for using these skills outside of the military.

    A: I like to go to concerts. Mainly Electronic Dance Music (EDM) or rap.

    Q: What are your long-term goals?

    A: I want to retire out of the Army as a Sergeant Major. After that, work in the imagery field on the outside.

    Q: What is favorite part about Ft. Bragg?

    A: Probably being so close to Raleigh and Charlotte.

    Q: What is your favorite part about the 525th?

    A: When I got here, I did S3 for a bit. But then I was transferred and started doing aspects of my job that I hadn’t done in Korea. So, I’d say the diverse taskings.
