Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Erick Detrich, Army Medical Logistics Command’s Command Sgt. Maj. Gabriel Wright, and 21st Signal Brigade’s Staff Sgt. Amber Smith spoke to students during three separate interactive sessions, sharing some of their experiences in the military and answering questions about career opportunities, incentives for those considering serving, and; of course, the reality of getting selected to be a special operator.

“We truly appreciate your willingness to invest your time and share your knowledge and experiences with our students,” said Emonte Hill, a career coach at West Frederick Middle School and organizer of the event. “Your presence will have a meaningful impact as students begin exploring future career pathways.”
