we respond to rapidly
evolving threats . We designed the
impossible . The opportunities are
endless . We're making a difference for
the soldiers , the army and the nation .
This is an opportunity like no other
where army officers can serve alongside
a diverse professional team and with
promotion and command potential far
exceeding other branches . It's
extremely satisfying knowing that what
I do on a day to day basis has a direct
impact on the war fighter . I go back
to my first acquisition program , which
was the Phoenix satellite terminal and
we were able to deliver two prototypes
in 10 months to the 82nd Airborne
Division and to know that I had a part
in that and to see some of the design
choices I made on that system , it was
extremely gratifying . We not only do
contracting actions , but we
develop , we innovate . You get to
work with multi , billion dollar
programs and you get to make decisions
on the army's behalf . Since I'm a
member of the transition and fielding
team for hypersonic were involved with
creating the solutions . Hypersonic is
a missile that's gonna go mach speed
and it's going to be a game changer in
our offensive line of work . Something
that's been unique for me is being on a
much more quick paced acquisition and
that's all been for covid . So being
able to rapidly provide information ,
vaccines , equipment or even diagnostic
tools to support commander's leadership
down to the individual level for
service members . Once the flag went up ,
we were immediately like pushing things
out . We were not doing things with a
matter of weeks and months and years ,
but instead we were doing things within
hours , you know , same day turnaround ,
whether it was contracts , whether it
was development and also the impressive
part was just the unified effort and
such an unprecedented time . Everybody
was part of this team . And , and how
do we come up with a common solution as
quickly as possible ? That's effective
things that I'm developing , that I'm
pouring my time into and passionate
about that . We're gonna be delivered
to a unit that's deploying overseas to
give them something that they may not
have already . And hopefully at the end
they save lives . The acquisition
workforce delivers products and
processes equipment on a grand scale .
It's a matter of life or death because
if we don't deliver what the warfighter
needs , they're gonna be in trouble .
So we have to do what we can do to
protect them for what they're doing for
us , making a difference for the
entire army and accelerating the
careers of its officer professionals
towards bold new horizons . The Army
